Edexcel Biology SNAB IS SO HARD

Hi im a year 12 student, for my mocks i got a C in biology. I did so much of exam practice, made mindmaps, watched videos etc i dont get how i went from an 8 in gcse to barely passing.
Any tips for getting an A* or A grade please?

Looking back on my exam i knew most of the information i just never matched the weird mark scheme

With dedication and a strategic study plan, you can work towards achieving the A* or A grade you desire in biology.

Memorise the mark scheme by heart. Edexcel snab bio mark scheme is hella weird I found it so much more useful by simply learning the mark scheme and committing it to memory.
