Atm biology is my worst subject.
I keep seeing it as a the subject that i don't really need to try hard on.
I often doze off during class(mostly because my teacher got tranfered and had a sub for 4 weeks) and at home i probably spend less than 5% of my time studying it.

So what is the best way to study for biology? Tutors? Summaries dot points? Do past HSC questions?? The dot point book??

Please help!

why would you need a tutor for biology? easiest subject to study for, although there is a load of content

revise your work constantly, summarise dot points and just understand and memorise

you'll ace it

lol i fall asleep in that subject too, so hey we're in the same boat!

uhh yes it is, if you revise each day and not leave it to the day before an exam and start cramming

it definitely does not require a tutor like maths/chem/phsyics

different people find different subjects easy/hard. just because you find it easy doesnt mean other people are going to as well.

biology is really quite simple a subject im doing well at. i use the syllabus as my guide and make the syllabus points into questions and answer them and if i dnt know how to answer them i revise my dot point summary and try again when i think i got them right i get my teacher to sheck them.

the reason i use the syllabus is because they cant ask u anything in an exam that is not on the syllabus.

take it easy and good luck

but with bio its not just learning the stuff, you have to know how to apply it.
