D to B in AS Bio
so there’s 27 days until my first AS Biology Paper 1. how realistic is it to get a high C or a low B. I’ve tried using uplearn (provided by my school) but the videos are so long that I don’t think I’ll be able to cover everything. I also have my AS Psychology Paper 1 on the same day. any tips please!! I study AQA exam board for both subjects.

Hi I'm a year 13 who does Bio but I think this revision strategy should be alright for Psychology as well. If you want to get to a high C or a low B then you need to make sure you know the content.
First look through your past tests to see which topics you're struggling with. This is important so that you can decide on which topics to revise first. Knowing that you've got a plan for revising specific pieces of content at a time can help to feel relaxed and less overwhelmed.
Try to do spaced revision. Uplearn is a great way to revise content but if it's not working out for you, then you should find other websites which prioritise active recall. I highly recommend Gizmo as it makes flashcards for you based on your notes. Physics and Maths tutor has pre-made flashcards, revision notes and exam-style questions you can try out if you feel confident with the content. If you feel that Bio is your least confident subject compared to psychology then I would prioritise that first.
Once you feel you've understood the content, if you have time go over some exam style questions. Save My Exams is a good website to use for exam technique and revision notes but it's not free. If you don't want to use that PMT is great as well.
I appreciate that there isn't that much time but you've got this. All the best for your AS papers!!
