You just have to be very specific with your answers. That's really the difference between an A and a B, I'd say. A lot of the time they're looking for a really precise word or definition.
Biology isn't that difficult to get an A in really, if you put the work in. I'm hoping for an A1 in June, and what I find helps most at this stage is going through loads of exam papers. Sometimes if I read through things in the book I end up not really taking in the information, answering questions helps me to focus on specific details so that I'll remember them, even if I have to look them up in the book at first.
Good luck
OH and if you've got a crap teacher who doesn't give proper homework, after you've done a chapter go and answer the questions on it in the book, and draw out the diagrams! It's really hard to learn diagrams without drawing them out yourself a couple of times. (I had a teacher who just read through the chapters in class for about 6 months, I didn't do much myself at home and I'm regretting that a bit now.)0 -

Ah, Good luck to you too!
Hope you'll achieve your A :D
Yeah, Papers are good to keep us focus and shows the way they asks questions, I find them very handy too.
With me, I cant take in nothing when i read the book, so i always have to make my own notes based on the book and the study aids and my teacher's guide. In this way, I absorb more.. i suppose it's time for me to learn them off!:o:o
My teacher isnt the best... so its alot of independent study and effort i need to put in. My teacher teaches this way... she finishes one chapter, and then she give us the exam questions based on that chapter and thats our homework. But the thing with my teacher... she never opens the book with us. Never reads them, If its the hard chapters then she'd do some notes with us in school, if easy enough, we do it ourselves. It's very stressful.. I must say. Yeah.. I need to put my head down and start focusing...OH and if you've got a crap teacher who doesn't give proper homework, after you've done a chapter go and answer the questions on it in the book, and draw out the diagrams!
