What are your best study tips for bio? Do you think it's best to start re-learning the content from now? There's about 2 months until trials!
I did Biology last year. By far my best study tip, which I found the most useful throughout the year is:
DON'T MEMORISE.
I tried to memorise everything in 1/2 (year 10 for me) because I couldn't be bothered to understand how the actual processes worked. That didn't turn out well - for my midyear (Unit 1) exam, I got 56%.
I tried to UNDERSTAND the processes from then on - why each step happens, and how it happens. Then I used to draw them in a notebook. For my Unit 2 exam, I got 80%, which was a huge improvement.
When I came to 3/4 Bio in Yr 11 last year, I made sure to understand all the processes rather than memorise them. You can't memorise everything in Bio - it's simply too content heavy. There's so much you would have to remember. So I just made sure I knew how to draw each process and explain the steps in each. And I came out with a pretty good study score
So overall, my best tip is UNDERSTAND, not MEMORISE.
Hope this helps!!
