Well first of all you need to know that the key to Biology is very simply to properly understand it and relate it to your everyday life. Never hesitate to ask to search for answers to your questions. Also spend more time solving than studying, that will help you memorize way easier. If you need any extra help I'm available, I am currently a fifth year medical student and I studied Biology OL and AL in IGCSE and scored A*. I hope this was helpful and good luck :)

Hi, i will send you a revision support booklet to help you. IGCSE goes into more detail than AQA and OCR exam boards, there are several topics that have a greater overlap with A-level compared with the other two examination boards. Make sure that you download and complete past paper questions. use the mark schemes as a basis for making revision notes from, as they are concise. Hope this helps Karrie

In what capacity? In terms of exam style IGCSE is more geared towards high end questions, and like the new style GCSE, you have no coursework component but will have to answer questions that test your practical knowledge and ability to interpret experimental data (your teachers should cover the relevant experiments with you in your lessons).Hope this helps, but feel free to ask further questions!

Hi Habiba. My top tip for IGCSE biology is first, make sure you understand everything, and then - questions, questions and more questions. Do every past paper and example question you can get your hands on as the mark schemes are recycled year after year.

HiUse the past papers and check the marking scheme. Since the syllabus is vast, follow the important topics as per the previous year papers more thoroughly.

What Exam Skills are Required to Pass AQA Biology?

We all know that a well designed and rigorous revision schedule is necessary to pass any exam. Make sure to use plenty of past papers and understand the types of questions that are likely to come up. This will put you at ease and reassure you that you can answer the exam. Once you're in the exam however, there are plenty of tips we can offer you to help improve and optimise your answers and exam performance. During the exam:

  1. Read through the exam! Prioritise the questions that you know the answers to easily and focus on getting those answers down. This will put you at ease. Then move on to focus on the more difficult questions, paying attention to how many marks each is worth.
  2. Manage your time. Use the number of marks per question to allocate your time. If you have a 1-hour exam and 60 marks, then spend no more than about a minute per mark. Specifically for AQA, they tend to put simpler questions at the start of a paper and harder questions at the end.
  3. Answer the question. Read through the question carefully and make sure you know what it is actually asking for.
  4. Be clear and concise. Make sure to put down only relevant information. Don't hesitate to plan your answer if it needs to be a bit longer. Make sure your sentences are short and precise and clearly answer the question. If you are asked to show your working, do so clearly, making use of the available space to answer the question.
  5. Cross out mistakes. Don't lose silly marks by leaving incorrect information on the page. Make sure it's cleary crossed out.
  6. Stay relaxed! If you're getting annoyed, pause and collect yourself and move on to a question you can answer.
  7. Re-read your work. If you have time, make sure to re-read what you've done.
  8. Keywords. Especially in biology you are going to be using a number of unfamiliar words. It is a good idea to know how to spell them and which subjects they relate to.
