VCE Biology 1 & 2 - Recommendation for Resources

[keagan]

For those who have done VCE Biology Units 1 and 2, which resources did you find useful eg books or lectures etc.
I'm studying Biology units 1 & 2, next year and I really want to do well. Can anyone suggest some good resources?

Nature of Biology is my preferred text, also grab Biozone Workbook 2012, some good exercises in there As for checkpoints, etc. - don't waste money on those for 1/2s

Good luck

^Agree, Use NOB focus primarilly on the Review and Biochallenge Questions the quick check are in essence comprehension questions.
Attend the biology TSFX lectures the notes are gold! don't really bother with the masterclasses, biology more of a subject that you do well in with self-study, and refering to help from your teacher, but if you want to go thats still cool- if you like being tuitioned:D
Get a biology dictionary and make a glossary- really really helpful.
And lastly AN the people here really know there stuff so just post any problems or questions here, you'll get a response almost instantly:D

Best of luck for BIO;D

agreed, dont waste money at tsfx lectures. I found bio 1/2 to be a bludge honestly, if you listen in class and do your homework, you can easily ace it. well, it might just be coz I have a "good" teacher though.

I did 1/2 biology this year and it was definitely one of my easiest subjects, idk if it was just my teacher but most of the time it was a bludge haha as long as you do all your work and understand what's going on you'll be fine, and you can always post on here if you need help

I didn't study at all for 1/2. With  some intuition, you'll average 70% without study.
