How do people get 90% + in A level Biology exams

I already am predicted an A* in Biology and I do active recall and LOTS AND LOTS of past paper questions. But I'm also very ambitious and curious to know how people drop only 5 marks in A level Biology????

Maybe nobody does - the % required for an A* in Biology with OCR can be under 65%

When you work through past papers, study the mark scheme carefully to see what wording they accept.

a rundown of what my friend(who is like this) does

Flashcards, she has them for all the key points and definitions for a chapter(which she graciously lends to me). It can easily be made from PMT or the CGP guide

a hell lot of practice questions, understanding of mark scheme created

spaced repetition, doing it every so often so is becomes long term memory
