A-level Revision Help

Now in my final year at college, I really need to crack down on revision and a particularly worried about biology (eduqas) because I feel like I know the content but I’m really bad at the application and generally all practical questions I just wondered how do you revise for biology aside from practice questions in past papers?

Also geography (AQA) I feel like flashcard would be useful for learning case studies but what do you do to remember like all the content? I feel like geography is a subject. I could use flashcards for much better than biology, but just looking for some guidance.

Hi there!

In terms of the applications part of your questions i would ask teachers for help on this, watch youtube videos (The A Level biology channel) that talk about the application in biology questions and learn from that! I would also look at the marks schemes of past biology papers on the eduqas website.

Eduqas A-level Biology Revision - PMT This website is also running groups over Christmas to do practice mock exam courses so definitely have a go at this! This website also has a lot of resources including practical skills!

In terms of geography revision i would also advise flashcards if you feel like that will be the most beneficial to you, start making them now! I would also advise looking at some online resources as well as trying a bunch of other revision methods if you already haven't such as mind maps and past papers!

Hope this helps and i wish you the best of luck!
