Unfortunately it doesn't work once you go past a-level and you have about 15x 1000 page books lol! And that isn't sufficient to get you the top grades half the time!

Past papers are the key to a grade A at Biology A-level. Do as many as possible and then learn mark schemes, it is important to answer the questions in the style of the mark scheme. Learn answers for standard questions that are common. I know so many people who are good biologists, but they don't do past papers, and consequently only get Bs, even though the knowledge is there.

Reading lots of primary literature....textbooks tend to leave out lots of details you need to get the real high grades IMO...they also get out of date VERY quickly.

No joke! For example, some of the information in my immunology textbook is already out of date and it was only published last year!
