Biology is a very content-dense subject and it can often be very stressful to revise. Here's how you can plan your revision to cover every thing in time for the exams, as well as solidify your exam technique for an A*.

What dd u get for GCSE biology or GCSE Core Science
Omgg Im soo happy that your doing this video!!! i defo need it atm and have waited so long for a levels tips from u! 🤩
My notifications are on for the premiere, I need this
(I loved your videos during GCSEs btw)
hi sola this video is amazing!! i hadn’t even thought of doing half of these things; thank you so much!!!!
Hi sola, thank you so much for making this video - very helpful. Please do one for maths and chemistry. Also I would like to ask about your study schedule during alevels especially yr 12, how often would you do work and what time period did you start doing all these practices q. Thank you so much, love u!
Your advice has been so helpful since my GSCE in 2022, this video will help for my A Levels now thank you. Also, you're so gorgeous!!
How achievable would it be to go from a grade E to an A or B following theses tips. And also how many hours do I need to put in a day to achieve this? thanks
I' have picked biology for A-level, hope this reassures me.
It probably will cuz Sola made this video
BioRach my favourite too!!💖💕
Heyy sola your videos are really amazing, just a quick question, should you do past papers in year 12 for your mocks as i’m in yr 12 at the moment and I don’t think i have covered all the content to do a past paper, as i’ve only covered about most of the 1st module and some of the 2nd one, and also could you do a video on alevel chemistry as well? Amazing video though, as i study alevel biology, chemistry and maths as it helps me study better. ❤️💕
Thanks a lot for this its really helpful🤩, what website or channels do you suggest i use to improve my math skills
Thankyou so much!
About the specification, there is so much content on my revision guide that isn’t on the specification list, but I’m scared of not revising it and the content coming up in the exam, specially as my teachers taught it in class also.
read the book / notes that u have , and attempt past paper , correct ur past paper, and u will get A* concentrate in ur practical classes .
Hi sola for gcses if you use pmt notes because they summarise the specification by making flashcards using just these notes,can you still get a 9?
Or should u use the textbook as well because as you know there is some stuff we dont need to know in the textbooks.
hiii love ur content!! im starting my gcse next year but i want to prepare and start creating notes for each subject in advance, BUTTT what textbooks do u recommend for history & maths?? ANDDD what's the difference between foundation maths and higher maths, like how does it work??? THANK YOUUUUU 😍😍🫶
Would you recommend writing spec points for flash cards ?
Thanks you so much for helping me in chemistry how many garde do we have to get
Hey, could you give me advice in revisions for Yr 13 biology chemistry and physics - I’m trying to plan intense revision from next week till the second week of February - for the mocks
Hey kwiin what did you get for GCSE Biology / GCSE Core Science?
I know you didn’t pick alevel maths but could you please make a video on how to get an A or A* if you can 😭😭🫶🏾 cuz maths is stressful.
Hi sola, i just wanna thank you and other youtubers for helping me from G1,2,3 in my first mocks to G9,9,9 in my last two mocks in science subjects. I also wanna ask if you know of any youtbers like cognito and freesciencelessons but they do alevel content, i'm in yr 11 and i don't wanna have to start looking later
hi how much did you study and with which techniques? for triple science gcse primrosekitten is honestly a life saver
@@user-kv8gt2kd1y Well i do watch videos on cognito for topics that are hard, i don't understand, i've just done or i am doing ahead of class and after that i use specification or cgp guides to see key points, then i do blurting and then physics and maths exam questions, i also do lots of past papers(i have tuturing with a tutor and all i ever really do is past papers 4 days a week 2hrs), exam season is also coming so i have simplified the specification by removing the irrelivant stuff or adding the stuff they say we need to know and i'm gonna make flashcards from it and i also do a lot of seneca and whenever it gets easy i set a challenge of always getting 100% and in general i always(most of the time) give 100% in class . Hope this helps :)
@@user-kv8gt2kd1ybut her gcse predictions are mostly incorrect. So I wouldn’t recommend doing the gcse prediction paper from her.
Hi Sola and anyone else would you recommend Edexcel alters Nuffield or aqa a level? Thank you!!!
Hi Sola! Thank you so much for your videos! Do you think it’s possible to get from Grade 6s to 9s for GCSEs having started revision now?
Definitely going over content flashcards and question papers is enough tbf😭
Definitely:) just make sure you focus on past papers to practice and get used to the types of questions you might get asked
Hiii may please also do for Chem A level??
also sorry sola, last thing, in terms of past paper questions could you please advise some websites such as i know like pmt does full past paper questions but how many should i do (from what years) and did you do any practise papers from a specific website please? thank you, also looking forward to watching this!!
I mostly used PMT as it pretty much collects all of the questions from the past few years. I recommend doing as many as you can! Start with the most recent years then work your way backwards as those questions are more likely to come up again. Do topic questions until you consistently get high scores in that topic. I only did the official exam board's past papers. Hope this helps
@@SmileWithSola thanks for your help, i just hope i have enough time to do them!! you are honestly so amazing i have no other way to thank you enough, you just earned a new subscriber!! :)
hi sola your videos are so inspiring to all of us, could you do one on a level maths if possible, also just quick advice, can i get grade 9 by doing corbettmaths 5 a day for gcses?
Thank you so much! I wouldn’t say corbettmaths 5 a day is sufficient to get a grade 9 as the questions are random and dont test your weaknesses. I would recommend doing as many past papers as you can!
@@SmileWithSola thank you so much!!
Could someone please advice me where i can take short class of A level in biology please i live in UK. 🙏
Hiii, how can I get a marking scheme.
Hi sola, i want to ask if practising past papers for maths and biology will be sufficient to get an A.
Thank you😊.
yes it will
Can you do dentistry if u hv bs in gcse then As in A level
🎉🎉🎉 happy
You are smart and beautiful thanks sis 😎
Can someone please PLEASE tell me whats a specification? Everyone keeps saying its imp but idk what it is😭
Hey, so if you go on your exam boards website and select the subject you are doing, there should be an option saying specification’
Basically this is a pdf with all of the content that is in your subject. If it’s not in the spec, it’s not in your exam :)
@@nikiadamska4280 so it's basically the syllabus???
are you a nigerian??
Heyy. If you are struggling with alevels biology or igcse biology and chemistry. I can give you one on one classes and will privide you with notes . We'll do past paper practice during our study sessions . I conduct these classes online. If you are interested, please let me know, and i will guarantee you an A*
Im not struggling with the material, im just struggling with the tests part. (Multiple choice and short answer). Like I can know stuff from the back of my hand but the tests are just so hard to pass. The highest ive got on a test is a C without test corrections.
Should you listen to music whilst studying? Does it help?
no dont its just gonna distract you
Hi Sola, tysm for this video. It’s really helped me study much better as I take alevel biology,chemistry and maths. 🫶🏾❤ Keep on making these videos 💗💗
