Hello! As an Edexcel student myself last year, and I got a B in A-Level Biology; I'd advice you to memorize the book, go over the syllabus, make your own notes, and then do past-papers as the last thing.
Especially in Bio, you need to know ALL the nessary information to answer the questions It's not like Physics or Math where you do pastpapers only, in Biology its completely different; its more with thinking skills.
Are you going to do January exams?

I also have the same problem :( But I found the solution, Just study the text book and pay attention to every single and minor details. Also study the mark scheme to familiarize your self with the structure of answers and allocation of marks . Finally , I advice you use lots of revision notes because they are written in bullet points and also contain adequate information.Most of the note have similar structure to the mark scheme . Goodluck!! I have my exams in January.....
