Itβs essential that before attempting practice questions or trying to condense information into notes that you understand the content. Listening in class will never do you any wrong as this is where most of your initial learning happens. Always ask questions until you reach some understanding of the content. When you are doing your individual learning, it can be helpful to watch videos that explain complex theories in simple terms with more visually stimulating methods. Good A-Level content can be found on YouTube such as on free science lessons.
Summary
A-level Biology is a difficult A-level subject due to the breadth of content within the curriculum. Many students find the jump from GCSE Biology to A-level Biology very daunting, even if you scored grades 7-9 in your GCSEs. To be successful in A-level Biology you will need good time management skills, in order to cover all the content ahead of exams, amongst other independent study skills.
