A level biology exam technique & thought process

Hi everyone. As the title suggests I need some advice mainly on the thought process I should be going through when answering A level biology exam questions. I know the content but sometimes I miss out key words or points from my answers or I write a bit too much. Was just wondering if anyone knows any websites that give good advice into this kind of thing or even exam technique in general or if you have a good way of going through and answering questions to make sure you get everything down that you need to. My exam board is AQA and they're really picky with how you answer questions. Thank you!

Use Olivia biology notes, they are exam specific and contain all the notes you will ever need.

Hi. idk if this reply is too late or not but best way to ace bio is to memorise and understand content, watch yt vids, explain to a friend, see the teachers and keep repeating the info till it sticks. then rinse out past papers back to back. when marking pay attention to the main key words they look for remember it as they can repeat themselves. hope this helps!
