Tips to revise Edexcel SNAB A level Biology

Hey guys,

I honestly was forced by my parents to pick A level Biology as they wanted me to do something medicine related. I attempted to convince them to not let me pick Biology because I absolutely just didn't like the subject in GCSE. But, I got talked into it and they made me pick the subject.

I'm in Year 12 now and I really don't understand Biology, and I find it really difficult. I feel like I'm performing terribly at school as well. I never have the motivation to study for it at home, because nothing about it makes sense to me. Does anyone have any tips to revise A level biology content?

I studied SNAB a couple of years ago now.

I'll be honest it will be very hard to do well if you don't enjoy and don't have the motivation to study it. I would speak to your biology teachers ASAP, when you get back from the Christmas holidays.

I always made flashcards in biology to help be revise, I would recommend finding flashcards other people have made if you are lacking motivation (e.g. on Quizlet or StudySmarter).
