From adaptive learning platforms powered by artificial intelligence to good old revision guides you can order off Amazon, there are lots of options! We believe you should only have 1 or 2 core learning resources per subject, ideally one that covers the entire syllabus.
There are some subjects that you can secure an A or A* in purely through self-study. Luckily, Biology is one of them! There is a very simple study-technique you can use to achieve this. We call it the scribble technique.
I used this exact approach to achieve an average mark of 92% across all my Biology A-Level exams. It can also be used to learn content for Psychology A-Level, but to score well in essays, the Scribble Technique will need to be combined with an Essay Feedback Loop process.
Hi , been doing this method for a few chapters. but it all stays in my short term memory. How can i ensure it tranfers to long term because by the time the exam comes i have forgotten most of the content which is done by scribble technique
Hi, I am aware that doing as many past paper questions as possible is a really effective strategy, however it is actually obtaining the questions to do in the first place that I am struggling with: where can I find loads of past paper A-Level questions?
I have my end of year 12 exams in around 40 days. I usually make notes running up to the exam and when the exams are near, I plan to use the scribble technique. Do you think this is a good idea? Or should I forget about making notes and use the scribble technique from now
3 days before an exam you should be focusing most of your time on practice questions and a little time skimming through your textbooks filling in knowledge gaps. To calculate how much work you should be doing per week, work backwards from the total number of pages you need to cover and the time you have left before your first exam. Yojana can calculate this for you.
Hi, Is getting an A star in 4 months possible? I have the vision to becoming a doctor so I would like to do IAL biology from scratch to help me gain an edge to get in med school. Never learn the subject before.
To do what she did, you need to use the Scribble Technique properly and not glaze over the page without trying to understand the information. When we asked her to explain the information she learnt back to us at the end of each day, she nailed almost every single bullet point. This takes practice and coaching from an expert tutor or academic coach.
I just wanted to know where exactly and how I would scribble down things. Would it be neat for me to reuse later or just messy notes? Also, for scribbling things i missed would i use a fresh piece of paper or the same one i used previously.
Many thanks, any real life examples or an explanation would be helpful if possible.
My advice is to prioritise self-study and use school/teachers as learning aids. Not the other way around. Create a study strategy that outlines what learning resources to revise from and calculate your daily page target. Work through these pages in your evenings and weekends.
Hello,
I will be taking my mock exams in September and they will be very crucial as it will heavily influence our prediction grades for UCAS. The Yojana application seems very useful and I will try that after I write this message, however I was wondering how I could stand out and definitely achieve an A star in A Level Biology, Chemistry and Psychology as many other people will do this. Also, as I am currently averaging Grade C/D,I was wondering if you could give me specific advice to improve to a Grade A/A* as I believe most people in my class have already achieved a grade the top end grades,so I would REALLY appreciate your help. Also, I have just about 2 months of no school to accomplish this, so your advice would REALLY help. Thank you, it would mean the world to me!!!!!
The complete Edition of A New Class book of O-Level Biology provides a stronger and comprehensive coverage of the current biology syllabus de- signed by the National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC). This book focuses on learning and developing skills and abilities for thorough under- standing and application of biology among learners rather than learning about biology. Based on the earlier editions and combination of Vol. I and Vol. I1, it provides user-friendly lively and straight forward relevent necessary information for success in 0-level biology Examinations.
The Lives of a Cell: Notes of a Biology Watcher (1974) is collection of 29 essays written by Lewis Thomas for The New England Journal of Medicine between 1971 and 1973. Throughout his essays, Thomas touches on subjects as various as biology, anthropology, medicine, music (showing a particular affinity for Bach), etymology, mass communication, and computers. The pieces resonate with the underlying theme of the interconnected nature of Earth and all living things.
The most influential writer to Thomas's writing style is Michel de Montaigne. He is quoted as saying "I cannot imagine anyone reading Montaigne carefully, paying attention, concentrating on what he has to say, without smiling most of the time".[3]
This essay focuses on how connected humanity is to nature and how we must make strides to understand our role. Thomas argues that even our own bodies are not solely ours since the mitochondria and other organelles are descended from other organisms. He creates a metaphor of the Earth as a giant cell itself with humans just as one part of a vast system.
Thomas introduces one of his key metaphors of humans behaving like ants. He suggests that this metaphor is not used because humans do not like to be compared to insects that, as a society, can function as an organism. There are many examples of animals acting as a large organism when in large groups from termites and slime molds to birds and fish. Thomas argues that the communication of results in science puts humans in the same model as these other species. As all scientists communicate and build on each other's work in order to explore that which we do not know.
Humans fear pheromones because we believe we have gone above the basic secretion of chemicals in our communication. However, there are signs that point to humans relying on pheromones as well as our most technological forms of communication. Thomas shows pheromones in the animal world with examples of moths and fish. He then goes on to explain what impact pheromones in humans could have on the future such as in the perfume industry and finding histocompatible donors.
Music is the only form of communication that saves us from an overwhelming amount of small talk. This is not only a human phenomenon, but happens throughout the animal world. Thomas makes examples of animals from termites and earthworms to gorillas and alligators that perform some sort of rhythmic noise making that can be interpreted as music if we had full range of hearing. From the vast number of animals that participate in music it is clear that the need to make music is a fundamental characteristic of biology. Thomas proposes that the animal world is continuing a musical memory that has been going since the beginning of time.
Thomas argues that even though we have the technological advancements to destroy the Earth that we do not know near enough about the world in which we live. To solve this problem he suggests that we should not be able to fire nuclear weapons without being able to explain one living thing fully. The organism that Thomas proposes is the protozoan Myxotricha paradoxa. There is information known about this protozoan that lives in the digestive tract of Australian termites but with more study it could be a model for how our cells developed. It is seen throughout nature that organisms cooperate and progress into more complex forms. We cannot destroy vast amounts of Earth with nuclear weapons until we understand how interconnected we all are.
Humans leave a trace of chemicals in every place they go and on everything they touch. Other animals use signaling mechanisms to leave trails or identify each other. The sense of smell is an important sense in using these mechanisms, but it is still not well understood. Humans, compared to the rest of the animal world, do not have a good olfactory sense though we may be better than we first assume. Johannes Kepler once argued that the Earth is an immense organism itself, with chemical signals spreading across the globe through various organisms in order to keep the world functioning and well informed.
Tau Ceti is a nearby sun-like star that we are on the verge of being able to begin making contact with, as well as other celestial bodies, to search for life. We have been attracted to the vast regions of space outside our Earth bubble and what they could hold. If extraterrestrial life is found, it scientifically would make sense, but the social impact of no longer being unique would give humans a new sense of community. The question of what information to send out is answered by Thomas by sending music, specifically Bach. It is timeless and the best language we have to express who we are. If possible Thomas also suggests sending art. However, the questions of what to send will not stop once we receive a reply.
