-Go onto the IBO website and look at the suggested reading + make sure u understand it through yt videos or a tutor
-Attempt an older/easier past paper for practice/understanding the format
Make sure to spend a significant amount of time reviewing your mistakes/any misunderstood topics
-Attempt newer past papers. Use another coloured pen if you run out of time and review in depth.
-Repeat step 3 until you've maybe 4/5 past papers.
-Identify trends that appear in all of the papers
Extra:
If you have free time then read around the context of the questions and identify new biology topics/discoveries that could come up ( and or wider reading around biology in general)

I just sat the intermediate one a lot of it is either unfamiliar knowledge or knowledge applied to lots of unfamiliar situations and GCSE content so look over GCSE, do timed practice papers and hope for the best😐
