A-level Biology OCR A

Hi, I wanted to ask if anyone can give me the resource that helped them the most with securing an A/A* for a-level biology as I'm currently using the textbook of pearson that my teachers uses and my tutor uses the oxford one and I have been suggested by a friend to use the cgp guide of the student book. Which one would be effecient as I feel like the textbook contains too much info and i heard the cgp guide contains over summarised.
Ofcourse I would do as much as possible of exam questions.
Thanks

Hi @Laa_123
I got an A in A-Level Biology. My teachers recommended that we used a combination of different text books and revision guides as they usually all have slightly different information, that when combined will give you a really full understanding of the topic. The most efficient way that I found was to make notes using the textbook we used in class, then read the other textbook and revision guide and just add any extra notes from it. Ultimately, I would recommend making most of your notes from the textbook / revision guide that you understand and like the layout of, then use the others to supplement it. I also found it really helpful to use the specification as a checklist to make sure that I had covered everything.
Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions!
