All your videos are so greatly helpful, you explain every piece of content so well that i get it straight away, thank you so much- your saving my a level
You're so welcome! Really pleased you find them so helpful 😊
Good luck 👍
this is so useful thank you so much, not a lot of people actually acknowledge this and even if they do you have to pay for it so thanks :))
You're welcome! Really hope it helps you 😊
The video may be 2 years old now, but it is still incredibly useful and breaks down each part of the spec fantasticly. I always wondered what certain codes meant and how to use the practical section and now i know so thankyou. I plan to use the spec a lot more this coming year
yay I am so pleased it has helped you!!
I remember making this request, thank you so much !
Yes you did!
I hope it lives up to what you imagined 🤞
Definitely went above and beyond my expectations 🙌🏻 eternally grateful to you
MRS ESTRUCH THE GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐
thank you!!!
hiya! do you have any tips for learning AS bio quickly? i’ve got my mock on monday and thought i’d be able to do well in bio without focusing on it too much but now i’m super duper underprepared in comparison to my other two exams😖
Good luck!! I have tips in this video here, although learning it quickly will be a challenge! Maybe focus on exam questions.
Hi Ms Estrutch,
I’m doing A level Biology as a private candidate and self learning/teaching.
Should I do AQA or OCR A? (I did OCR A for chemistry last year and really liked it) I know there’s an essay part for AQA which I’m slightly worried about.
Do you cover all of the specification on your UA-cam channel for AQA?
Do you know how similar the OCR A and AQA specifications are?
If I do OCR A, can your videos still be used?
Please respond and if you do, thank you!
Hello,
Yes my videos are specifically AQA and cover the whole spec. OCR A is very similar, so you could still watch them and just closely check against your specification to see any slight differences.
If you are not keen on the essay OCR multiple choice section instead may be beneficial. Check out my video on the essay maybe to see what you think?
@@MissEstruchBiology Thank you for the advice. So I checked the video on the essay component, and as you said in your video, you don't get marks for individual points but really for the essay as a whole. Because of this, I will find it difficult to mark it myself (teachers more suited to do this of course as they're experienced). So I think I'm going to go ahead with OCR A. But it's nice to know that OCR A and AQA are similar. Your thoughts?
hey there what abbout ocr?
