Is A Level Biology good?
The A Level Biology course is highly regarded and universities tend to look favourably on it as a subject. As we mentioned earlier, it’s a prerequisite for many university degrees too so it’s essential if your child is looking at a degree such as medicine, biology, physiotherapy, dentistry, dietetics, biomedical sciences, or biology.
Can I take A Level Biology?
To take A Level Biology you’ll usually need a grade of 5 or higher in GCSE Biology or double science as well as Maths and English. The minimum grade for GCSE biology or science is sometimes 6 or above so you need to check with the relevant school or college to find out their requirements.
Is A Level Biology hard?
The A Level Biology course follows on from GCSE level so if your child did well and enjoys the subject, they will definitely be able to pass the A Level Biology course as long as they do the work. Having said that, A Level Biology involves more in-depth content and more difficult concepts.
The A Level Biology exams are also longer and will include Maths based questions. A Level Biology revision is key to success in this subject. It’s useful to get an A Level Biology tutor well ahead of exams too because they’ll be able to give structured guidance on how to get top grades and what to study for and practise.
How many exams are there in A Level Biology?
Each exam board can set their own standards for A Level Biology exams. You can expect at least two exams per year.
Which exam board is best for A Level Biology?
While all will give you the qualification you require, AQA is often considered the easiest board regarding the A Level Biology exams. Here is an example of what A Level Biology exams to expect over the two A Level Biology years.
The first year (AS) of the A Level Biology exam run by AQA has two papers:
Paper 1 - A written exam of 1.5 hours made up of short answer (65 marks) and comprehension (10 marks) questions
Paper 2 - A written exam of 1.5 hours made up of short answer (65 marks) and extended response (10 marks) questions
The second year (A2) of the A Level Biology exam run by AQA has three papers:
Paper 1 - A written exam of 2 hours made up of short and long answer (76 marks) and extended response (15 marks) questions
Paper 2 - A written exam of 2 hours made up of short and long answer (76 marks) questions and a comprehension question (15 marks)
Paper 3 - A written exam of 2 hours made up of structured questions, including practical techniques (38 marks), critical analysis of given experimental data (15 marks), and one essay from a choice of two titles (25 marks)
How do you get an A * in A Level Biology?
To get an A* in A Level Biology you need to be diligent. The vast amount of content covered in the A Level Biology lessons means it’s not possible to wing it. Hopefully, your child finds it interesting enough a subject that they want to learn and put the time into A Level Biology revision.
We recommend knowing the course content like the back of your hand, looking for additional A Level Biology online revision, and getting professional A Level Biology tuition.
In-depth A Level Biology revision
First and foremost, your child needs to know the content. There is a lot of rote learning and recall necessary in the A Level Biology exams. While remembering content isn’t difficult itself, when you are faced with a mountain of facts and information it piles up.
A Level Biology revision should be done throughout the course. It will be too late if your kid tries to cram for this subject at the end.
A Level Biology online revision
One tip that really helps our students is to look beyond your textbooks and notes. Find other sources of information on the relevant A Level Biology course topics. This deepens one’s understanding of the subject matter and presents the details in a different manner, sometimes appealing more or making a previously obscure concept clear.
You should encourage your child to look for Ted Talks, and documentaries or videos on YouTube or any paid streaming channel you have. Videos can be an entertaining way to learn and form part of your kid’s (nearly) downtime while they take in new details at the same time. It’s a good idea to take notes on new pieces of info they pick up on or copy clever graphs etc. that resonate with them about a topic.
