Yep! its pretty cool. :D *hi5* ;) :D
The Secret - your welcome.
That Mary Jones text book is also equally good ;). But yes, I suggest you check Biological Sciences too. Videos are like a revision, its makes you thorough. ;)
And ofcourse, the past papers are the vital part. Practise the papers of the past 10 years.
umm...yup, that's about all I can say now.
P.S - I forgot mk is a bio student, too. :D

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!

I agree, I just used it over the weekend to study 'Biological Molecules' and it turned out to be really good!
The reason I didn't discover that earlier is that IGCSE book that my school recommended was AWFUL - literally, I just opened it in Year 9 but then it remained in my cupboard rarely touched till I got my A* and decided to shift it to another cupboard to make space for my AS/A level books!
& Thank you! :D
Examiner reports are pretty good, to be honest, they do give you an idea of what is expected, they did help in IGCSE, so I'll definitely have a look at them!
What almost all the teachers have said in my school was that if you've gotten an A* in your IGCSE, you'll get a C or a D in AS/A levels, that was pretty much motivating *cough*cough* - absolutely not!
So I really don't want that to happen at all, I'm aiming for A's in AS and A* in A-levels Insha'Allah!! :)
Thanks a lot!! :)
