Struggling to revise for OCR A2 Biology?

How do you revise for A2 Biology? It's mainly F215 - I've gone over everything at least once, but it just isn't staying in my head. I have the OCR Heinnman textbook and the CGP revision guide but I don't know what's happening! Help!

Depends how you mean "gone over it".

Just reading over it? That won,t be particularly effective.

Make summary notes, mind maps, cue cards... To be honest, these are things you should have done sooner but you could always just obsessively cram revise by going over points over and over again until it goes in. Works for me, so I don,t do too much regarding revision notes. a good balance between the two works for me.

Extra tip: after throughly reading a double page, walk about and actively talk about what you,ve just read and explain the details and fill in any misising information after and explain again. It helps to engage your memory better than simple reading
