First of all, just relax. Don't stress your self. You have lots of time. :D

*I recommend the AS Student Book by Ann Fullick and using the AS Biology revision guide. Make sure you have the syllabus:

http://www.edexcel.com/quals/gce/gce08/biology/Pages/default.aspx

Textbook: https://studentforums.biz/reference-material-83/physics-a2-edexcel-active-book-!!!!!!direct-download!!!!!!!!/

Guide: https://studentforums.biz/revison-notes/edexcel-a2-biology-revision-guide-11526/

*Check the reference material section for notes:
https://studentforums.biz/reference-material-83/

*Past Papers:

*If you start early and start working really hard and study daily- you will be fine. :D

Lemme know if you need anything else. :D

Take care and enjoy your summer! :D

Don't be stressed!

Everyone has their own different technique of studying.

I make my notes according to the syllabus using both textbook and revision guide. :)

Edit: Reading the whole textbook is very important.

Oh, you are welcome! :D

Um...Sorry...But may i ask..are you done with unit 1 and 2?

About how to study..
The best thing as kitty mentioned..read the book and make "your" notes...
Notes from different resources are also very helpful..but try to make notes for the main points yourself as that way you will remember more..

P.S. I am also studying AS bio this summer :D
