Teachers are so important with Bio specifically I think. At GCSE I was awful at it, then I re sat at a different school and even went on to do it for AS. it’s mad how teachers can affect your subjects so much.
Emma Jane I know! I was getting 2s in RE in my old school and I absolutely HATED it (loved the teacher but I couldn’t learn with her). Now I have a new teacher at a new school and I’m getting straight 9s because I love her teaching method, and I’m taking it as an a level next year and I’ll probably be a university lecturer in religion, theology and philosophy when I’m older :)
IKR? I'd left KS2 primary school with a level 6 [National Curriculum, not GCSE. It's equivalent to a grade 3] in both english and maths. The teacher in english [years 7-9] was CRAP I'm telling you! He just likened my struggle with coming up with ideas to write with being 'bad' at english, and he'd always send me to my head of year's office for things like smiling or getting slightly restless. From years 7-9 I was stuck at a grade 2-3. But after getting my teacher changed in late/mid year 9, I was instantly surrounded by enthusiastic kids as well as a fun and helpful new teacher. After my first unit test in that class, I got a grade 6. And in year 10, in another unit test, got an 8. Teachers affect your EVERYTHING when it comes to school but I hate how the system would still blame it all on you even if your teacher never lets you stay in class.
The people who say Biology is the easiest subject are in for a shock! I completely agree with what you have said Jade, only 4 weeks into Y13 and I am already thinking I miss AS x
Oh my GOSH I feel you with the glycerol, glucagon, glycogen, glucose, glycerides, etc. And just remembering like monosaccharides, polysaccharides, disaccharides, then like what makes up what like sucrose, maltose, galactose, fructose etc like what ones of those are poly, di, mono. And all of the processes to make and break those😳 so much stress in the first topic damn! I’m finding it a lot easier now tho!
sabiha iqbal hahah I’m past it all now! I did carbohydrates, lipids then proteins and I’m now on enzymes and structure and my teacher said proteins was hardest yet I still find carbs/saccharides the hardest!! You’ll do amazingly(:
Im in my 2nd year Biology currently, the whole course becomes connected together in second year and there is a lot of reference back to first year content
@@annie4005 i’m doing bio, psychology and english language! it’s definitely my hardest subject, i really hated it at first and i failed my first ever assessments in november i think but it was mostly a case of me not understanding a-level questions and not using specific terminology. it is a great subject to take and the content is really interesting and when i put in the independent work it’s a lot easier to do - i enjoy it now!
Same! Im doing biology chemistry physics and math with AS english language. 🤡 everyones questioning my choices 😅 but fingers crossed i do well. Any advice?
@@gachadrop6728 no go for it still! It’s always going to be hard work but it’s worth it! I’m in year 2 of A level biology which is crazy, I thought I was going to leave science behind in gcse but I love it so much. It’s my hardest subject but the content is interesting. If you want it, go for it!
@@lilythepink9036 you were going to leave science behind? Why is that? I am also thinking of doing that and switching to commerce but I'm not sure... what was your experience?
please do one of these for a level maths because I'm really considering it for a-level because maths is my favourite subject so I'd like an honest review of what it's really like
Maths is great as long as you keep up with the content. The content itself isn’t too hard, but you have to keep going back over what you’ve learnt because they move on quite quickly. So far I haven’t had anything that I don’t understand at all. If you like maths, definitely go for it :)
I just joined a level maths . Personally I would say that if you get a 7 and above you should deffo try maths , however only do it if you want to and you really need it . Truth be told it’s difficult . But with practice it definitely gets better
I started A Level biology this year and so far it's not too bad - then again, I'm comparing it to the jump between GCSE and A Level maths, which has been considerable for me since we started with my weakest parts in maths 😅 I'm sure the jump will get bigger once I have more lessons aha
Phantom R Very true. I finished A-levels in the summer and sat the same exams as Jade. I can say that AS biology was extremely easy. A2 is much harder! It all worked out in the end though, just keep trying and ask for extra help.
@@phantomr277 I agree - personally, the jump from GCSE to AS-level maths was negligible, but the jump to A-level is much more apparent (I do A-level maths and AS-level further maths).
Kezia Lucas I’m doing maths, bio too. tbh AS biology doesn’t seem too much yet - I’ve done monosaccharides, polysaccharides, lipids, phosphate lipids etc I’m Also doing maths, were just building on GCSE such so far we have learnt things like polynomials but they’re basic :)
Biology is actually very hard. I'm going to give my A level exams on October. A lot of revision and its very interesting content but very hard. Plus, my teachers are not that good so I have to understand most of it by myself.
1. Revise 2. Flashcards 3. Blurting revision 4. Someone to help u - friend/teacher 5. Need chapter before lesson - u have q and gaps u will fill in the sess Understand well
I can't express how accurate you are on every point! I knew the content inside out but even though I left an ok amount of time for past paper revision I wish I did it more intensely as I went along like I did with my notes. That's something I'm keeping in mind at university (even though the assessment system's different)
Doing the flash cards after each lesson is so useful, other wise they pile up till you just can't get through all of it! Thanks Jade for this video I really appreciate the tips!💕 Could you please do a maths video aswell please?
I cursed my life when i choose biology i hate that teacher that told me to Now i have biology chemistry physics maths ahhhhhhhhh and I cannot change it fuck the system
Doing (OCR A) A-level Biology at year 12 atm, and I approve. I've skimmed through the spec and there's a distinct difference between GCSE and A-level Bio. GCSE Bio is a joke compared to that of A-level's. Learning it is quite easy (to me at least), but as Jade said the sheer size of it is the problem. Too much content needs to be covered and memorization plays a key role. Overall, it's very interesting but challenging. Welp, thanks for scaring us Jade!
Wonderful video Jade! Just wondering how you quickened up the flashcards-making process? It takes me hours to make a set, which is frankly overwhelming
YES JADE MAKE A VIDEO ON THIS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE to use colours and pics in my flshcards else I can't remember them b/c they'd be black and white with the same handwriting
Yass. Biology is HARD!! 😭I suck at biology. Thank you so much for this video. ❤ Also, I have to struggle more bc I'm not lucky enough like you to have a good bio teacher.
I'm in year 13 currently just finishing biology, chemistry, and geography spec. I 100% agree with all of this it's so difficult to apply and analyse and explain things and for very few marks. A grade C is currently about 48% and a grade B is around 55% and its hard to even get to this level. Half my chem class failed their June mocks and most of my geog class don't get 3/4 marks on essays cause A levels are so hard. My bio teacher said in my first lesson in year 13, it's called advanced level for a reason. Everything is relevant. The bio text book is 500 pages in tiny print. It's killing everyone. Only take it if you need it as a particular subject for your uni course. Don't take it as a side quest.
I am doing my masters in biology in germany at the moment and am so happy that i made it through the bachelor! It was pretty hard, but work ethic and interest in the subject are the most important things that will keep you motivated. AND don't beat yourself up about bad marks, they happen!! As long as you can make your masters afterwards, your bachelor mark does not matter, so just keep on going! Not the smartest stayed until the end, but the grittiest! If you have any questions, please ask below, i may make a video about it too 😊❤️❤️❤️
A levels are terrible at the start , usually its not understanding the concepts its the speed at which you have to learn a crazy amount and apply your knowledge in a baffeling way
In year 13 rn and I totally agree with you! this advice is so great (apart from making notes after EVERY lesson which isn’t realistic for me aha) it’s okay if you don’t get it straight away though, as long as you’re motivated enough to go to the teacher after class or learn through Khan academy or whatever

Im from malaysia and im currently studying for my foundation level. U really motivate me a lot! Thanks for ur advices. Keep spreading good vibes Jade :)
Brilliant video Jade! ❤️ I'm in year 11 and I've been thinking about my A level options. I've always wanted to take Biology but after watching this is feel a bit weary about the mathematical part of the A level. Just this year I've been moved up to top set in maths so I'm doing the higher paper and it is quite different to the foundation tier.
The key to doing well in A level biology is not taking anything for granted. Make sure you start even before you start preparing even before you enter sixth form school. That way, when you start officially, you are able to work at your pace because things get crazy very first. Also, ensure you have a target of finishing the syllabus at least two months before the actual exam. Practise as many questions as possible and study the techniques used in answering questions. Good luck to all you newbies.
I do A-level biology and I watch Khan Academy videos it’s a very useful.. and she is right biology is way harder than maths and chemistry and you have to do lots of past papers to get high grades. Good luck everyone 💜
Great advice and video! I did Biology with English Lit, History and French and have to agree that it would be easier with maths and chemistry. I still got an A*, so it's definitely possible to do well without having maths and chemistry, but I think you have to be willing to put in a little more effort to understand some of the maths stuff - like the t-tests and chi squared. Also I feel like one of the best pieces of advice I was ever given on answering biology exam papers was to not be afraid to state the obvious. So often on the questions using graphs and tables, you can lose marks by not pointing out what seems too glaringly obvious and easy to merit a mention.
YO I TOOK BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY AND PSYCHOLOGY. This made my life and made me feel happier in my a levels and more confident. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU xxx
Loved this video, wish I had seen it before taking biology! Having such a dilema at the moment, im in year 13 at the moment and really struggling with biology! so much content and markschemes are vile! I work so hard for it but aren't really getting the grades I want (normally Ds and Cs). I know the grades really aren't awful or anything but im also just not happy cause I just feel constantly confused, and am only scraping passes in tests beacuse I spend all my time revising and learning the content (i struggle with the application of knowledge)! This week I have been heavily considering restarting year 12 with different subjects but i need some advice cause I know its a massive decision but I need to make it soon and not feeling too happy with my subjects (chem and geog), especially biology!
13:24 damn call me out then 😂 I think this has made we realise that I don’t actually want to take biology (I do but maybe not enough) and that I just like the combination of subjects and the idea of taking a science damn it 😂 Edit: well... I’ve taken it now no going back 😂
@@mariamabah6061 honestly it’s pretty hard. I mean the contents not overly difficult and I’ve gotten some good grades but those application questions 😖 😂
@@mauve9266 give us another update lmao. I’m also considering switching to biology so any thoughts even though I don’t want to take a science course at uni 💀.
@@nabz6817 honestly biology is proving very difficult at the moment (it’s interesting so it’s ok but still hard) so if you don’t want to take a science course at uni I really wouldn’t bother not unless you really love it or you’re very good at it already. There’s not much point putting yourself though it otherwise. You have to remember that an A in biology is the same as an A in like media (not bashing media but u get the idea)
@@mauve9266 I do understand what youmeant on the last point but what jade said in 13:24 is really true to me too. I want to take a science purely because I feel the need to take one and I don’t really have passion for it and was considering switching it to English literature even though it’s not that bad in content and I do enjoy it for the most part.
I’m not even taking biology but of course I’m still watching this!! lots of the people in my physics class who also take biology always say that it’s often underestimated just how difficult it is and although physics is notorious for being hard, they find biology much more challenging to get good grades in xx
loved this video. Even though our systems are different i too have taken bio, maths, chem and phy and Bio is my favourite one. I will be taking it at Uni.
Thank you for the great video!!! I started WJEC biology A-Level this year, and so far I’ve been reeally enjoying it, and your tips and advice will surely be useful!! Xxxx
Thank you. I’ve just enrolled onto a level biology for year 13 as I switched travel for it since travel was getting me nowhere. I am going to stay for 3 years at my college. My other subjects are statistics and forensic science.
Omdss I'm acc so scared about doing A level biology this september and I keep on hearing everywhere that its a big jump from Gcses...Love Ur videos btw❤
I decided to add a fourth a level course when applying for colleges and I was thinking to do biology but I'm not sure about that after seeing this vid LOL

Thanks for being you xxxx
I loved the video! I'm thinking about doing Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Further Maths for A levels, but it's a horrendous workload, and the video gave me a lot of information to think about :)
Warwick Wagner 4 is honestly stressful, (I started with Maths, Further Maths, Economics and History) and although the workload is manageable. It led me to have to be working 24/7 which is not what I want. So therefore I dropped one (history). I’ve also heard that further maths isn’t really needed for medicine/science related courses, but obviously if you want to go into maths then it is essential
Thanks for the advice - Annoyingly I don't know whether I want to go into Maths or science at uni, so that makes the decision harder. Also I heard that for top universities Further Maths is an advantage (but never a requirement) for sciences, but I might be wrong.
Warwick Wagner you're right about further maths not being a requirement; it just often means that the grade requirements are slightly lower for maths courses. for example, for my uni (uni of leeds) the normal requirements are AAA, but they are AAB/A*BB if you have a further maths A level or an A in further maths AS level. i haven't researched these unis but some of the really high unis like oxbridge might require it, but if you're not aiming as high as that, you should be fine not doing further maths. everything covered in further maths is gone through at university where necessary to put everyone on the same level, and same with statistics and mechanics because not everyone has done those either
I like biology but I don’t get along well with my teachers and I feel like they have ruined it for me. I want to study zoology but I feel like it will be too similar to a level biology and it will put me off
Never clicked on a video so fast!! I definitely prefer human biology to plant biology
Me too😃😃in 2 week i will have my biology A level exam
plant biology man it’s just so boring
I like both!! :)
daisyjsore it really is but at least you get a deeper understanding of living things!
Me to, I done life and health science for a level (it’s just basically human biology in depth)
Teachers are so important with Bio specifically I think. At GCSE I was awful at it, then I re sat at a different school and even went on to do it for AS. it’s mad how teachers can affect your subjects so much.
Agree. Also with chemistry (A-level)
Honestly last year in year 12 I had awful teachers and so I did really badly :( but now my teachers are so much better!
Emma Jane I know! I was getting 2s in RE in my old school and I absolutely HATED it (loved the teacher but I couldn’t learn with her). Now I have a new teacher at a new school and I’m getting straight 9s because I love her teaching method, and I’m taking it as an a level next year and I’ll probably be a university lecturer in religion, theology and philosophy when I’m older :)
IKR? I'd left KS2 primary school with a level 6 [National Curriculum, not GCSE. It's equivalent to a grade 3] in both english and maths.
The teacher in english [years 7-9] was CRAP I'm telling you! He just likened my struggle with coming up with ideas to write with being 'bad' at english, and he'd always send me to my head of year's office for things like smiling or getting slightly restless.

WHO ELSE LOVES JADE?!?💗💗
Btw I’m a small UA-camr✨
Im from malaysia and im currently studying for my foundation level. U really motivate me a lot! Thanks for ur advices. Keep spreading good vibes Jade :)

I needed a video just like this and ofc you are a mind reader so you made one 💁🏽♀️💕 This was so helpful!
Needed this x we’ve just finished biological molecules and there’s already so many new key words 😭😭😭
Brilliant video Jade! ❤️ I'm in year 11 and I've been thinking about my A level options. I've always wanted to take Biology but after watching this is feel a bit weary about the mathematical part of the A level. Just this year I've been moved up to top set in maths so I'm doing the higher paper and it is quite different to the foundation tier.
Hey ! What did you do in the end ?
From this video I learnt that you're a reallyyyy HARDWORKING! You inspire me :)
Awhhh THANK YOU! I’m a big believer in having goals and working hard to achieve whatever you personally wish to. Lots of love x
UnJaded Jade Omg omg omg I didnt think you would reply to me. I agree with you hard work will pay off in the end. All the loveeee 💕💕
The key to doing well in A level biology is not taking anything for granted. Make sure you start even before you start preparing even before you enter sixth form school. That way, when you start officially, you are able to work at your pace because things get crazy very first. Also, ensure you have a target of finishing the syllabus at least two months before the actual exam. Practise as many questions as possible and study the techniques used in answering questions. Good luck to all you newbies.
Nowhere near my a levels but it's one of jade's videos so I have to watch it 😂♥️
I do A-level biology and I watch Khan Academy videos it’s a very useful.. and she is right biology is way harder than maths and chemistry and you have to do lots of past papers to get high grades. Good luck everyone 💜
mestan hadi do they make videos on A level biology??
also BioRach
can't wait to start bio, chem and history in September!!! woo go me
lucy xoxo me too 🤠🤠
PHATTY rip to the year 11s this year when we had to do osmoregulation of the kidneys for gcses 😰😰😰😰✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Ive just learned mitosis and miosis in biology 4 weeks ago :D
Alevels bio can shaft you. As for A(A*pred) and B A level. Still love it and am doing biomed
Been waiting for this! Love you 🔆 p.s have fun traveling
Don’t even study Biology and still watch your amazing video 😂😘😘😘😘
You truly are so inspiring and it’s great sharing your honesty and wisdom.
🙏🏼💛🤗😘
So scared, I’m doing biology and chemistry and having a really similar situation with a bad chemistry teacher rn)::
I recently started AQA alevel biology and I’m honestly terrified because we haven’t hit anything mindblowing yet but I know it’s coming
YAYYYYY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS SO MUCHHHHHH BTW HOWS THE TRAVELLING??!!!💓💓💓
Great advice and video! I did Biology with English Lit, History and French and have to agree that it would be easier with maths and chemistry. I still got an A*, so it's definitely possible to do well without having maths and chemistry, but I think you have to be willing to put in a little more effort to understand some of the maths stuff - like the t-tests and chi squared. Also I feel like one of the best pieces of advice I was ever given on answering biology exam papers was to not be afraid to state the obvious. So often on the questions using graphs and tables, you can lose marks by not pointing out what seems too glaringly obvious and easy to merit a mention.
YO I TOOK BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY AND PSYCHOLOGY.
This made my life and made me feel happier in my a levels and more confident.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU xxx
Which A-level did you find easier biology or chemistry?
Most of my peers are finding chem content harder but bio workload harder
You have amazing teeth!! I want to do A level biology and this video was a great help. Thanks so much.
Loved this video, wish I had seen it before taking biology! Having such a dilema at the moment, im in year 13 at the moment and really struggling with biology! so much content and markschemes are vile! I work so hard for it but aren't really getting the grades I want (normally Ds and Cs). I know the grades really aren't awful or anything but im also just not happy cause I just feel constantly confused, and am only scraping passes in tests beacuse I spend all my time revising and learning the content (i struggle with the application of knowledge)! This week I have been heavily considering restarting year 12 with different subjects but i need some advice cause I know its a massive decision but I need to make it soon and not feeling too happy with my subjects (chem and geog), especially biology!
Hey just intrigued what u ended up doing ??😅
I'm not even doing biology a-level but I'm watching this for Jade!
God I’m out of my depth 😂
I really appreaciate all of the hardwork that you put in work, study so well and yet are such a fabulous youtuber. Love you Jade .
13:24 damn call me out then 😂
I think this has made we realise that I don’t actually want to take biology (I do but maybe not enough) and that I just like the combination of subjects and the idea of taking a science damn it 😂
Edit: well... I’ve taken it now no going back 😂
How is it going
@@mariamabah6061 honestly it’s pretty hard. I mean the contents not overly difficult and I’ve gotten some good grades but those application questions 😖 😂
@@mauve9266 give us another update lmao. I’m also considering switching to biology so any thoughts even though I don’t want to take a science course at uni 💀.
@@nabz6817 honestly biology is proving very difficult at the moment (it’s interesting so it’s ok but still hard) so if you don’t want to take a science course at uni I really wouldn’t bother not unless you really love it or you’re very good at it already. There’s not much point putting yourself though it otherwise. You have to remember that an A in biology is the same as an A in like media (not bashing media but u get the idea)
@@mauve9266 I do understand what youmeant on the last point but what jade said in 13:24 is really true to me too. I want to take a science purely because I feel the need to take one and I don’t really have passion for it and was considering switching it to English literature even though it’s not that bad in content and I do enjoy it for the most part.
The first second I saw the video I was like "WOAH JADE IS POPPIN'!!! 😍".
I’m quite dyslexic but I really want to take biology at a-level but I’m not sure how I would be able to handle it
U wouldn’t be able to handle it
I’m not even taking biology but of course I’m still watching this!! lots of the people in my physics class who also take biology always say that it’s often underestimated just how difficult it is and although physics is notorious for being hard, they find biology much more challenging to get good grades in xx
I start A-Level Biology soon! so scared x
loved this video. Even though our systems are different i too have taken bio, maths, chem and phy and Bio is my favourite one. I will be taking it at Uni.
Why is it that after watching one of your videos, I instantly feel so motivated to do well in my exams!
Thank you for the great video!!! I started WJEC biology A-Level this year, and so far I’ve been reeally enjoying it, and your tips and advice will surely be useful!! Xxxx
Hey... how do u find wjec? Cuz I do it too and I really like the textbook since it makes it soooo simple
This was an amazing video ty xx
Biology practical endorsement... the bane of my existence :/
I used blurting in the form of posters when revising for bio 🤗
am i going to take a level biology? no- i'm not even taking it at gcse hahah
but am i still watching this? yes
clearlycesca surely you don’t have a choice at gcse?
Nancy Stewart some schools do double science
Nancy Stewart At my school you have to take at least a science so you can do three two or one x
The only science I am doing is physics:)
@Dolapo u wanna do physics
I'm dreading A levels I'm taking bio, chemistry, maths and welsh. And so far I'm only feeling confident in welsh hahaha
Currently doing biology a level and love it despite the heavy content ++ still watching this video just because I love Jade!!💗
Thank you. I’ve just enrolled onto a level biology for year 13 as I switched travel for it since travel was getting me nowhere. I am going to stay for 3 years at my college. My other subjects are statistics and forensic science.
Omdss I'm acc so scared about doing A level biology this september and I keep on hearing everywhere that its a big jump from Gcses...Love Ur videos btw❤
Me watching this with my unified paper this wednesday and regretting doing this instead of music
Stuck between chemistry or biology and I really have no idea which! Any advice? X
I decided to add a fourth a level course when applying for colleges and I was thinking to do biology but I'm not sure about that after seeing this vid LOL
I'm late but YAAAAAAS JADE...JUST PERFECT😍🤗🤗🤗
Jaaaaade, has your teacher set up her channel already? We need her!
Well I have just opened my introduction and topic 1 A-level biology booklet and already know this is going to be a struggle 😃
Wow so much I wanna say! Okay let me get started xD..
You are litterally one of the most amazing YTers out their.. You motivate & inspire me everyday. Your positivity is contagious and automatically improves my day. Your academia really helps me with school because there is very little support for me at my school. Your love for your fans is so precious & I really hope ypu know how much you mean to all of us!I wanna wish you the best of luck for your tttravels, your going to be amazed by the impact you have on so many peoples lives! . Thanks for being you xxxx
Wow. Thank you so much for such a truly amazing comment! 🙈✨ I’m honoured that you’re here xxx
@unjaded jade Im only saying the truth. You deserve to know xxx
Still watching it even tho I’m not doing bio for a level 😂
Hey so I know you are vegan, did you have to cut open a heart for a level biology xxx
Suddenly feeling much happier about changing from biology to sociology a level.
Did you guys know which website she mentioned for maths and chem? Sorry I cannt make out.
Choosing a level biology and chemistry is like entering the pits of hell
I loved the video! I'm thinking about doing Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Further Maths for A levels, but it's a horrendous workload, and the video gave me a lot of information to think about :)
Warwick Wagner 4 is honestly stressful, (I started with Maths, Further Maths, Economics and History) and although the workload is manageable. It led me to have to be working 24/7 which is not what I want. So therefore I dropped one (history). I’ve also heard that further maths isn’t really needed for medicine/science related courses, but obviously if you want to go into maths then it is essential
I'm doing those subjects and I just went into year 12.
Thanks for the advice - Annoyingly I don't know whether I want to go into Maths or science at uni, so that makes the decision harder. Also I heard that for top universities Further Maths is an advantage (but never a requirement) for sciences, but I might be wrong.
Warwick Wagner you're right about further maths not being a requirement; it just often means that the grade requirements are slightly lower for maths courses. for example, for my uni (uni of leeds) the normal requirements are AAA, but they are AAB/A*BB if you have a further maths A level or an A in further maths AS level. i haven't researched these unis but some of the really high unis like oxbridge might require it, but if you're not aiming as high as that, you should be fine not doing further maths. everything covered in further maths is gone through at university where necessary to put everyone on the same level, and same with statistics and mechanics because not everyone has done those either
@@MrBrandonHDGamer If you want to do maths at university, further maths is not essential - preferable, but not essential.
I like biology but I don’t get along well with my teachers and I feel like they have ruined it for me. I want to study zoology but I feel like it will be too similar to a level biology and it will put me off
I’m currently doing as biology as I loved the subject at GCSE, however microscopy is so incredibly boring omg
