    OCR A Level Biology Revision Notes
    Hey, I did some revision notes for the exams F211, F212, F214 and F215 and thought I'd share them around, so here you go :-)


    FAQs

    1) I wrote them myself. You might have been given them by your teacher/best friend/whatever, but that does not mean they are not mine. You will not find any copies of these notes from any other source dated any earlier than these ones (unless I posted them in a different thread first, which I think I did with a couple). There are mistakes in them. I wrote them in a rush. You will see from some of the early replies that I corrected them as they were pointed out. Now I'm more occupied with my degree and I'm not even sure if I still have the original files.

    2) I got an A in each of my exams and I'm now studying human biology at university. I have not done A levels for a long time (more years have passed than I care to admit!). I probably can't answer your specific questions but there are other threads around here where they will be able to help you.

    3) I don't know if using my notes will get you an A and I don't know how you should revise. I wrote them as part of my cramming. As mentioned previously, they have mistakes. TBH, reading these notes wouldn't have helped me when I did the exams. It was the writing them which I found useful.

    4) I did OCR B Salters Chemistry (So F331, F332 etc.). I have another thread somewhere with those notes in. However, they are not as good as these ones because I predominantly revised using my tutor's notes rather than writing my own. Yes, I got 90%+ in my chemistry coursework; no, you can't have a copy.

    5) I'm at university now. I won't be writing more notes and I can't write some for a different module for you.

    6) I'm a woman, please don't refer to me as a 'he'.

    Yeah, they're really mine

    F214 took me a day coz I was freaking out the night before the exam. The others took me a bit longer, coz I have a really short attention span.

    Absolutely amazing, will +rep you.

    Do you do Edexcel A-level Chemistry by any chance?

    Thanks a lot. :top:

    Do you have them for OCR Chemistry ? I would've repped you again, but I've already done it in the past 28 days.

    I do OCR B Chemistry, but I'm not sure if I'll do notes for those exams.

    Ah thanks very much for these. I was seriously losing faith in getting an A in biology, despite doing well at AS :eek3:

    I don't know. I revise by writing them, not really by reading them


    On that note, I've not proof read them, so I have no clue how many typos there are.

    I believe you mixed up the batch and continuous cultures in the table for f215 (page 11).
