How many flashcards should i make for biological molecules

Hi ive started a level biology around a month ago and am in the process of making flashcards based of of the oxford revision guide, im half way through biological molecules and have already made 100 flashcards, is this a reasonable amount or am i making way too many, i use flashcards for all of my content for biology

im in year 13 and working at an A* in OCR bio (also use the oxford textbook so im assuming we do the same course), i have 250 flashcards on biological molecules

Hi,
That sounds like a great start, and it’s good that you’re being thorough with your revision resources. As long as your method works for you and helps you remember the content, there isn’t really such a thing as too many or too few flashcards. Everyone’s study style is different, so what matters most is that your cards are effective for your learning.
It’s worth making sure each card focuses on key information rather than large chunks of text. Flashcards tend to work best when they test your understanding e.g., definitions, processes, or links between concepts like monomers and polymers, and the structure and function of biological molecules. I find a simple Q&A format is really effective for active recall.
Good luck with your studies

Thanks I've just had my test on biological molecules and so I learnt all my flashcards and the test was very easy but i felt as though i wasn't tested on almost 90% of my flashcards even though all the test was on biological molecules
