I do Edexcel Biology Higher (triple)
I love biology because it's an interesting subject
I use CGP Revision Guides however I think that Protein synthesis, evolution, cells and control are my weakest points

To learn the content:
•
Work through the videos and questions on Cognito, this is great for building your understanding, as well as actively recalling the information.
•
Cognito link -> https://cognitoedu.org/home.html
•
Watch the FreeScienceLessons videos. He should cover most of the content for all exam boards.
•
FreeScienceLessons link -> https://www.youtube.com/@Freesciencelessons
•
Invest in a whiteboard and pen, but paper will also work. Read through the specification points for your exam board, and write down on your whiteboard everything you can remember for the point (e.g, specific biological processes). This is active recall and is essential for building your long term memory.
•
Most importantly DO NOT STRESS! GCSEs are a very small part of your life, and in order to achieve the grades you want you must maintain a healthy balance! Make sure to reach out if you are struggling!
I hope this helps! Feel free to message me or reply to this if you have any questions! ☺️

Use cognito to watch videos for the topics in your exam, and answer the questions that follow. Use physics and maths tutor to access a range of past paper questions for the topics in your exam. Answer these and mark them. Take a note of the areas you aren’t too strong on and work on these more😊Best of luck!
