I just say read through your notes at least once a day, and make flash cards of topics you struggle on. Furthermore do lots of past papers, it will familiarise yourself to the exam style of questions. The ones you get wrong, read through your notes again and write model answers :biggrin:

I'm not really enjoying Biology this year, some topics are extremely boring!

But yeah I've made my notes and will be starting past papers this week :smile:

Some links I used that are really really useful:
http://pastpapers.org/aqa-a-level-past-papers

http://www.biologyguide.net/

http://www.biologymad.com/

I also have a lot of really useful question booklets that I might be able to stick up (once I figure out how to do that).

Best advice I can give anyone for this paper is to tackle a topic at a time. Write your notes. Then do questions on that topic from the past papers. You will notice there are what are called MARK SCHEME ANSWERS for certain questions, for example, enzymes - how the substrate has a complementary shape to that of the active site in the enzyme, therefore they collide, combine, fit together to produce enzyme-substrate complexes. So seriously, learn your mark schemes, especially the 6 mark ones that come up a LOT. x
