First of all, Learn by heart the tests for Starch, reducing sugars and fats.
Practice how to draw and interpret the graphs and also practice how to draw enlarged pictures with labeling. Labeling pictures are hard, so I suggest you practice by doing the old past-papers. LEARN how to magnify, or find the size of actual or drawing of the picture. Again, this can be done by solving past-papers.
Classification Chapter is important- Differences/features between/of vertebrates, Arthropods, Flowering Plants, Bacteria and Fungi. They often come in paper. And yeah, also learn methods to improve results, or conditions. Like, for e.g: Same temperature, use control, etc.
My advice: Learn the bio book, and do lots and lots of past-papers. Trust me, you will pass bio with flying colors. In sha Allah.
Hope this helps! :)

It really helps alot but there is some experiments rather then food test don't u know where i can get them from? like a question came in the past-papers about Ph experiment.
Do I have to learn all the book's experiments or there are some specific one.
THANK YOU,
and thank you for your prev. reply

There are many questions like Ph experiments and steps to collect oxygen gas for instance, but its really easy to answer them once you get the flow of answering bio papers. There are no specific books or papers for them, they are just simply testing your knowledge. The more you do past-papers, the better.
Like for Ph exp, common things that everybody should know,
Take variable and many Phs, take equal amount/mass of substance given, use control like buffers, safety precautions, same time and temperature, maybe same test tubes (according to question) , repeat and find average, plot graph and use many values, see which ph gives the best results, etc.
I think you should go through the experiments in your book, like, read them once. See which you think are important. I also have many experiments in my book, but many are also not useful at all. There is Carbon dioxide gas exp (respiration chapter) Plants exp, like is light, oxygen, water imp? Food test. Why is plant boiled in water? (to make the cell membrane more permeable) Why is plant given a water-bath in alcohol? (to remove chlorophyll so that iodine exp could be easier) <these are imp!
My advice, give one whole week especially for bio. I have my Bio pp 6 mock tomorrow and I did the exact same thing. I studied in the morning, and did 2 - 3 years past-papers in the night. I started on Saturday and now I am done with the whole book plus I did pastpapers from 2007-2012.
And do recent past-papers they are harder are trickier.
You welcome!
