10 Last-Minute Exam Tips to Get an A Grade: 2023 A/L Biology

I’ve recently uploaded a YouTube video on these last-minute tips, but here’s a quick crash course to get you started:

10 – Keep Calm at the Exam Hall: As you step into the exam hall, it’s natural to feel a bit anxious. Take a deep breath (or two!) and control that anxiety. This will calm your nerves and help you focus and think clearly.

9 – Stay Grounded in the Last Days: In the final stretch before the exams, avoid panicking. Steer clear of relying on last-minute tips from others. Trust the preparation you’ve done throughout your two years of learning at A/L class.

8 – Past Papers: Do past A/L papers set by subject expert professors. Avoid non-standard, provincial, school, and model papers by various tuition teachers. Stick to the ones crafted by professors to understand the exam pattern better. However, if you need to download these, we have included those Model Papers on the studentlanka.com website.

7 – Time Management: For the MCQ paper, tackle 50 questions in two hours. In Paper 2, you have to do the four structured questions in the first hour (400 marks) and save the last hour for the four essays (600 marks).

6 – Essay Writing Tips: Craft 30-50 points in an hour for your essays, drawing from your resource book. Quality over quantity is the key. Write points in the resource books to avoid unnecessary extra points. extracted from other books classes etc. Do practice essays that are included on our YouTube Channel.

5 – Structured Essays: Allot 15 minutes to each question, focusing on key points from your resource book. Only write answers as per A/L Biology resource books.

4 – MCQs: When faced with multiple choices, pick the most correct answer. Trust your instincts, and don’t second-guess too much.

3 – A/L Biology Exam Paper Format: Marks are allocated based on the syllabus timeline. Concentrate on both Grade 12 and Grade 13 units, ensuring a balanced approach.

2 – Understand MCQ Types: Recognize the three types – knowledge, comprehension, and application/analysis. Deep learning triumphs shallow learning for those full marks.

1 – Stick to Official Biology Resource Books: When it comes to Biology, rely only on the official resource books published by the National Institute of Education. These are your go-to guides. Download new syllabus new edition Biology resource books here.
