Recommendations
To ensure you are prepared for summer exam the following could be done:
- Make sure you are sure of the bullet points at the start of each topic/chapter – this is the syllabus of the Biology Course.
- Ensure handouts for each topic are completed.
- Use the workbook as a revision aid, we have only done a few chapters in the workbook so plenty of blanks to complete. [Hand up to me for correction]
- Organise a study group.
- Prepare a list of definitions encountered so far in the course.
- Look up past papers on www.examination.ie to study from.
- Revise over your previous exams and ensure you understand the corrections.
- Ask if there is some concept you can not grasp.
- Make out a timetable today to get you adequately prepared for the summer exams.
- Have a look online for animations etc. Try www.leavingbio.net
Good Luck:)
