I liked the A+ Biol notes. Slightly expensive considering they split the units up into separate books (which are each the same price as other subjects which were combined into one). I found them really useful and easy to digest if you will. They aren't super detailed though and they're not quite up to the level of knowledge you'll need for the exam, but they are good to break harder topics into easily understood bits. I used to take mine in the car on trips and read them. Like a nerd. ;)

Hey!

I found TSFX notes to be extremely helpful for both unit 3 and unit 4. In fact, I found them so helpful that I literally didn't use my textbook for unit 4 and relied solely on the notes due to how extensive they were at covering everything in the study design. Highly recommend the TSFX lectures too... these are run by really great lecturers who are also assessors, and so they provide insight into the do's and don'ts for Bio 3/4 and the exam.

Best of luck!!

Second usefulness of TSFX notes, they're pretty golden.

Will put in a cheeky plug for the ExamPro guide, written by passionate ex-Biology students for passionate Biology students. One of those authors is the legendary Thushan, anything written by him is worth purchasing ;) (although he is also going to touch up and improve the book over this break so save your purchase until closer to Term 1!)
