  • Wooo, the first of the long awaited a level revision vids!! In this video I talk through all the things I do to revise for a level biology!
    I know the techniques I use may not be revolutionary and I'm well aware there are many more ways to revise than this, but as I say in the video, the clue is in the title, I'm talking about how I PERSONALLY revise! :)

    Another few tips-I do AQA alevel Biology. Use Seneca (they have other exam boards and subjects) to help learn stuff, quizlet, mindmaps to summarise the topics and don’t take CGP markschemes as the actual mark scheme for the exam use it as a guide

  • @jacobnelson2608
    @jacobnelson2608 Pƙed 3 lety +4

    I do Eduqas and the textbooks are awful. With the flash cards I would recommend printing off your exam board's specification so you know what to learn from the exam board themselves. Revision cards are also very good for micro-things (details) while many of the macro-things (basics) tend to stick in your mind anyway.
    A really helpful video though, thank you.

    Girl if you're interested check out OCR A level Biology A student books 1 and 2 by Pearson. I'm in year 13 awaiting the OCR A level biology A spec exams and I have been using those textbooks throughout my course. Had to buy them myself as my college equally didn't supply the best textbooks, but well worth the money in my opinion!
