Biology is an interesting and vast subject. But their is nothing to worry about it. You dont need that many resources to study biology. A good text book and an attentive mind are the only things that are required. (The book Biological Science 1 & 2 by D.J. Taylor is sure to get you an A* in your GCSE's. ;))
Here is a link to good study tips for biology - http://biology.about.com/od/biologyhomeworkhelp/a/aa120705a.htm
I think, M-H has said everything worth knowing for this topic. :P
P.S - Any doubts or questions, we are here to help. Good Luck!

Thank you! :D
I have another text book by Mary Jones, it's pretty good too. I'll check the book you suggested in our school library then!
Thanks for the link, it gave me a few ideas to work on! :)
I know, that's one thing I love about StudentForum!
Thanks a lot!! :)

Except if I have a test and then, it's just like I don't have any other option but to actually study!
I find biology very lengthy and full of details and each book/resource has a part of the information!
I think I'd have to make a summary of all the points in all those resources and form a new book for me then!
Thanks Master_Key! :)

You are welcome. ;)
REMEMBER IF YOU FIND BIOLOGY VERY LENGTHY THEN INSTEAD OF READING TOO MUCH, UNDERSTAND IT!
I ADVICE YOU TO SEE MORE OF VIDEOS, FLASH AND ANIMATIONS IF YOU FIND BIOLOGY LENGTHY. IF YOU NEED LINKS THEN ASK.

Matey, for A-level Biology, Advanced Biology by Jones and Jones (i.e. Mary Jones and Geoff Jones) is like THE BEST. Also, if you're doing your exam under edexcel- Salters Nuffield Advanced Biology is great too. These books are the best I ever read. They're so cool :). They explain very very well. The book by Jones and Jones can be used by anyone anytime! And that's because it's follows the CIE syllabus-which's international.
It's not necessary for you to study thru videos and stuff like that always. It would just make your studying more interesting. But if you haven't done that ever, don't do that all of a sudden. For those who don't study that way, it can often be difficult to start and then continue. Anyway, you're good in any case, I mean hello an A* (By the way-congratulations :P :D). And about knowing what the examiner wants, go thru the mark schemes thoroughly and the Examiner reports-if you'd like to. Don't go thru a lot of them- the examiner reports. Remember you're doing that only to form an idea about what they're looking for-which is pretty much obvious from the mark schemes anyway!

Amy for short, ain't that okay?? :P :)

I agree with you. Its totally on the student. No one can explain in a better way if the student doesn't like that way.
I just advised because it was too lengthy for him.
