Study tips for H2 Biology

Multiple choice:
  • Eliminate options that are not likely to be the answer

Structured Questions
  • Use the preamble to assist you in crafting your answer
  • When revising your lecture notes, study it with the tutorial so you know what sub topics are most likely to come out. 
  • Study your tutorial to also know how to answer your questions. Learn how to break down your questions.
  • When a question gives you a diagram, make sure you craft your answers referring to the diagram if the question calls for it. Always quote values + give a trend!

Free Response Questions:
  • These are the questions that you need to memorize the most for. 
  • Drawing a table helps, but you need to phrase your answers in full sentences. 
  • When in doubt, "location" of reactions/processes that occur is a standard point.

Practical:
  • Don't draw best fit line unless you have a lot of time, it takes a long time to measure the distance between the points and the line you have drawn. 
  • When you don't have enough time, do two concentrations of solutions (eg) to derive the trend than fake your results. 
  • Craft your response by using standard phrasing in the theories you have learnt.
