E to at least a C..

I do AQA a level biology I am literally on an E… I am so worried and I’ve been trying everything to get myself to a D at least
And idk what to do I’m running out of ideas I’ve tried every single revision method

Please can someone give me a EFFECTIVE revision method for AQA a level biology that will get me a C and I am willing to put in so much work and effort

Hi! So, I have found revision flashcards most beneficial, so instead of making new ones use quizlet or gizmo for pre-made ones and do as many exam questions as possible in prep for the exams

Yeah I agree with this just loads of flashcards and active recall. If you understand everything and it’s just the memorising that’s and issue it should help get your grades up

watch miss estruch on yt, make notes/flashcards with her videos, do topic questions after you cover a topic then do past papers when you finish every topic

Try: https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/biology-revision/a-level-aqa/

They have hint sheets and mind maps for key topics. My advice would be to have a look at the extended response types questions to make sure you really understand the content then practice lots of questions on specific topics from there to help learn what is in the mark schemes
