Biology has an entirely different learning style than other subjects. If you want to excel in biology, you have to approach it with a creative mindset and a positive attitude. So, it’s essential to prepare Biology with a fresh mind. One needs to spend a lot of time in biology class to have a solid understanding of the material. It will be easy to score well in exams and future endeavors when you understand and not mug up the Biology subject.
When you read textbook material, something takes root in your memory. You might underline it to help remember it or make a note of it in the margin. Remember to read the text as much as possible, not to memorize it but to comprehend the processes. Create point-by-point summaries of critical topics in your terms.
1.Create a study schedule giving time to scoring subjects and subjects you are weak in.
2.Just concentrate on one topic at a time instead of hustle to learn many topics at a time.
3.Attempt sample papers/practice papers to identify trends and your weak areas.
4.Find the distribution of marks or blueprints of each unit in biology in the question paper for the Board Examination. According to the blueprint, prioritize the highly important topics.
5.Draw diagrams wherever necessary; if you draw a suitable diagram, you will receive the hint to write the notes.
6.Don’t forget to read the supplemental materials, familiarize yourself with the box and description at the end of the lesson, as well as the text.
7.To familiarize yourself with the complicated biological terminologies, make a note of them several times on paper.
8.To break the monotony, occasionally study with friends by each explaining a topic to others.
9.Make sure to pay attention more in lab sessions and perform all the experiments actively. Actively participating in performing lab sessions will get you an intimate understanding of each topic.
10.As the exam approaches, go through the previous year’s question papers (five to ten years), practice one sample paper every day, writing complete answers, and keep an eye out for any relevant image that often appears in the papers.
Finally, remember the three R’s: READ, REVISE, and REWRITE.
ALL THE BEST…
