2014 Holiday Biology Study

[vceva]

Yay! Holidays

How's everyone studying for bio 3/4 ?

[Bruzzix]

We were given our biology workbook (we don't get a textbook) before school holidays began and I'm planning to finish the whole thing or at least the unit 3 part before school begins. As for my other subjects, I'm aiming at finishing unit 3 minimum for each.

There already is a bio question thread, were all the pros are. Its probably better if we ask questions there so all the masters can assist us haha

That's a great goal sir.jonse! Just remember that with subjects like Bio, it's better to spend more time on a concept in order to understand it thoroughly than rush through it. But you seem really motivated and it's clear that youll do well! Best of luck Bio students.

And although I completed Bio 3&4 just this year, and I probably didn't do so well given that I procrastinated so much and didn't attempt as many practice qns as I should have, I'm more than happy to respond to any questions or to tell you about my study habits and the resources I used Afterall, we can still learn from anyone even if they have didn't get a 40+.
I'll try posting a thread about the resources so hopefully that'll help (if I can handle the disappointment on Monday )
Some students have posted really helpful threads already like Yacoubb, and they're very helpful!

Finished the homework already (chapter 1 including biochallenge, a few worksheets) so I think I'm just gonna look over the other chapters and get an idea of what's happening

Some odd reason, I'm feeling motivated for Bio now haha.
Whats everyone's goal for next year in terms of biology?

What are some techniques to effectively learn the content and apply them to questions?

Flowcharts. These things allow you to make connections between different aspects of the course, which inevitably gives you a greater conceptual understanding and lends to a heightened ability to apply your knowledge to questions.

I'm probably going to write some sort of guide for Biology so keep your eyes peeled
