Hello me pass biology

Hi @Tessdexter 👋

I'm currently studying Biochemistry at the university of Essex. And I also took biology at GCSE and A-level.

My tips for passing biology would be:

Write flashcards the day of or very close to getting the information in class, that way you have the resources ready for when you come to revise

Brain dump mind maps - by this I mean, pick a topic, get a piece of A4 paper and write down everything you can remember from that topic from memory. Then afterwards look back at your notes and see what you've missed and fill in those gaps. This is great as it tells you what you already know and what you need to focus on, so you can spend more time on the areas you find more challenging to remember!

Then lastly, past paper questions as this is a great way to see how questions are often worded but also you get used to what the mark scheme wants to achieve the marks.


Hope this helps 😀 and good luck with Biology!!
