Am i making my A level Bio flashcard correctly?
Hi im 2 weeks into A levels and ive began making some flashcards for aqa bio currently this is what im doing, I use the spec to varify the content i need to cover in my flashcards. I copy and paste the flashcards on pmt to chatgpt where it improves them for me and makes sure that their specific to my spec, so far it seems quiet accurate but idk

Hey, so everyone's revision techniques are different so you need to find an effective one that works for you, and if that it using chatgpt to improve flashcards to memorise them thats fine (just always double check info as AI is prone to mistakes)
Personally, for me I tend to handwrite my flashcards as I think it helps it stick better in my brain and only use them for memorising content (e.g question on one side, answer on the other). I usually ensure I really understand the content first as with A-levels its more about learning to apply the knowledge rather then memorising like GCSE. Additionally, I would do a lot of past paper questions just to get a feel of the questions and what the mark scheme wants from you (e.g specific language) as A level questions are a bit more nuanced than GCSE. My biggest piece of advice for A-levels is that if you don't understand a concept or topic, try and make sure you learn it at the time rather than leaving it last minute (it will save you a lot of stress)
Hopefully any of this helps xx
