5 tips for biology 🎧

1. Print off your specification. This is the most important thing to do because this is basically the recipe book for your exams. The examiners can’t ask you anything that hasn’t been mentioned in the specification. This is also a good way to keep in track of the pace during class and see if your teacher has missed anything. It gives you an overview of the content, some definitions and practical information too.

You can simply find this by searching your exam board then specification (AQA A level biology specification) or request one from your teacher.

2. Biology is a very content heavy subject regardless of whether it’s GCSE’s or university level. So it’s really important to constantly review the content in spaced intervals such as 1,3,7 days apart. You can use anki as a tool to do this. This is a flashcard app that test your knowledge using the flashcard format.

3. Immediately review what your teacher has taught you. As soon as you get home review what your teacher has taught you because you only retain a certain amount of content before your brain forgets it. Make sure to review your content before the 6 hours it’s been taught.

4. Blurting is an amazing technique for testing your knowledge and memorisation. All you need to do is get a piece a paper and give yourself a set time and write as much as you can about a certain topic. Then mark this using a different coloured pen and add in parts that you missed. Keep doing this until you know that topic off by heart.

5. Memorise your definitions! We often neglect this aspect of biology but definitions carry so many marks across all your papers. They are often just one or two marks but can bump your grade up so spend at least 10 minutes a day reviewing definitions.
