Advanced Higher Biology Help- Need Notes

is a-level biology hard because i want to do it but with the other subjects i have picked are a load of work and i don't want to drowned in all of it plus i am stuck between a-level biology and media studies i love both and did both at GCSE but i wanted to continue but sadly THANKYOU !!!!

I think there is such a thing as having too much in the way of resources; it can actually become a little overwhelming. You're therefore best just to stick to one or two books whilst you're studying the course. I personally prefer the BrightRed books as they keep the content short and concise, making it far more easy to digest and, ultimately, memorise the material. I reckon if you were to know everything in the BrightRed book, as well as having some exam exposure, you'd have no trouble getting an A pass. That being said, for the likes of essay questions, CSM1996 is right to point out that the BrightRed book may be somewhat scarce in the way of content. I'd therefore recommend that you supplement your study from the BrightRed book with some additional reading, perhaps from Scholar or the Monographs, so that you can gain a more holistic view of the topics and potentially pick up more marks in your essays.

Our teacher gives us the scholar textbook and just tells us to make notes from that, but I think it has way too much information. The BrightRed book maybe is cutting it a bit short for all the knowledge you know, but it does give the most important parts.

On another note, has anyone done the unit 1 NAB? Is it difficult? Because I think I have mine soon but I haven't been in school for over a week so I could get it surprised to me when I go back next week

Well I have the nab at the end of next week- so I'll tell you then how difficult it was

How did your NAB go

Our notes are about the same depth as Hamilton science, if that helps at all

Okay. But I havent found out my mark yet. The pass mark is higher than fifty percent by the way and some of the quenstions were a wee bit tricky so im a but worried. Also, we got to to questions out of a nab that we werent doing the next day- it was significantly easier than the nab we got that was our actual one XD

Got my prelim today :/ not looking forward to it

Good luck! I have my unit 2 NAB then my prelim on the 12th

Hope everything goes well for you Managed to juuust get a B in my prelim. Im pretty chuffed with it considering I thought I'd failed. xD

I think I'm dropping it because I got my first choice unconditional from uni and I can't be bothered to do the project

Well done! Haha, fair enough. I've thought about doing that with my adv.highers but I might try and keep going for the experience and all that xD
Also- I hope you dont mind me asking what your first choice uni is? (I ask because I noticed you have been on the St.Andrews thread. Its my first choice so I've been watching that thread like a Hawk, hence why I've noticed you xD)

Glasgow is my first choice, but ofc it would be lovely to be accepted into St Andrews but I am not expecting to What have you applied to do at uni and which unis

Ah I see! Well done- I'm still waiting to hear from Glasgow myself xD To be honest, I'm not really expecting to be accepted into St.Andrews either but a girl can dream ^_^ I've applied to do Cell Biology at all five of my choices- St.Andrews, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling and Heriot-Watt (I have an unconditional from Heriot-Watt so far ^_^ ) What about yourself?
