Product description
Preparing adequately for examinations require a different set of strategy. Students need to spend more time going through practice questions and answers. This is because students have to be familiar with how the syllabus content is tested. They also need to acquire important examination skills such as analysing and making use of data provided in the questions.
For essay questions, the answers have to be coherent and correctly phrased, as well as contain certain key terms to earn maximum marks. Furthermore, students have to write the essay in a concise manner with a time constraint. This means memorising entire sections (or pages) of school notes (or the textbook) is not an effective approach to answering examination questions. Essay questions also often test the ability to link different concepts from different parts of the same topic or between topics. This is a struggle to most students because the ALevel Biology syllabus is contentheavy and ma parts of it are conceptually challenging.
This book is designed with the typical student in mind.
120 essays are presented so that the student need not prepare essays from scratch.
These essays are organised into the various topics for students to be familiar with important concepts, key terms and phrases that are repeated in different essays.
This is further reinforced when students have to actively find the correct key terms for the blanks in the essays, so it is not just reading the essays in a passive manner but actively participating in how the question is answered.
Each essay is broken down into smaller manageable parts called key points, which can be read during small pockets of free time.
Teachers comments provide additional information or reminders during revision.
