WELL DONT FRET BUT YEAH ARE U GIVING BIO IN CIE THIS TERM OR IF ITS JUST FOR SCHOOL THEN IT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT IT IS TO READ THE BOOK AND GRASP ALL THE CONCEPTS JUST LIKE YOU HAVE TO DO IN PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY AND THEN ATTEMPT THE PASTPAPERS.BUT DONT LEARN BY HEART WHATEVER IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OR YOULL NEVER BE ABLE TO FINISH READING THE BOOK AS AFTER RESPIRATION THERE ARE VERY BIG CHAPTERS.DONT STRAIGHT AWAY START READING THE NOTES AS THEY SOMETIMES DO NOT CONTAIN THE ESSENTIAL CONCEPTS REQUIRED FOR PAST PAPERS,I WOULD ADVISE YOU TO READ THE NOTES WHEN THERE ARE ABOUT 7 DAYS LEFT IN YOUR EXAMS AS IT HELPS IN REVISION.IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS PLEASE DO FEEL FREE TO ASK.

Since you have very less time left you must get mary jones bio book as its pretty short and contains almost everything.And i hope you are following the syllabus as it makes life easier since i have seen that mary jones also contains some irrelevant topics.Hope you are able to finish your syllabus in time and score an A*





Well there is nothin technical in bio but yes you really have to know some food tests and some plant tests and practice recent pastpapers the previous five years would be ideal but do solve the topical ones once you finish the chapter reading.

WELL IT IS A REALLY GOOD BOOK BUT SINCE DRAGONNINJA DOES NOT HAVE THAT MUCH TIME HE CANT USE A VERY GOOD DESCRIPTIVE BOOK SO THIS IS HIS ONLY CHOICE SINCE YOU REQUIRE A LOT OF TIME TO UNDERSTAND THE BOOK IM TALKIN ABOUT.

Search the contest area you ll find some but if you can read a book that fast then why not get this book 'BIOLOGY' A COURSE FOR O'LEVEL by LAM PENG KWAN AND ERIC Y K LAM If you are interested in buying the book please ask me so ill tell you the correct version of the book as i accidentally had bought the wrong version which does not contain some chapters.This is not a prescribed book but if you read it your concepts are bound to be complete.
