SNAB Biology Specification

Most of the people at my school say that you need to knwo the whole text book to get an A and I've seen people post here saying the same, but surely it's like any exam where you just need to know the specification, which excludes a whole chunk of the text book..

Surely you can't be examined on what isn't in the specification, can you?

Dunno. From what I know it's a pretty sketchy exam board.

You're right. If you learn all the points of the specification you'll be fine. You dont have to learn the 'Did you know' bits.

I do the SNAB syllabus and I have to say that I HATE it because it is all such random stuff and order.Anyway from what I can gather the book expects you to have knowledge before that it doesn't include so if you are aiming for grades above a C then you need to be reading around topics to get some background info.

learn the spec rather than the whole book as there is stuff in the book you don't need to know. oedema in module 1 for instance.

@rdot type in "SNAB specification" in google and it's the first one that comes up.
