Biology A-level

-From the whole A level biology course roughly 30-35% of the marks go towards memory and understanding- therefore just memorising content won't get you A and B grades, in which you'll need 70-80% of the marks
-huge emphasis on application!!! To do this you need to have a very good understanding of all the material and be able to apply your knowledge to different scenarios - to practice this you have past papers- past papers are vital
I haven't met one A*/A/B student that does not recommend past papers in their studies - it's very important

So you need a mixture of memory, understanding, application, and at A2 synoptic element so gather a the information you've learnt from AS and A2 and be able to write essays ( this depends on exam board)
