🧠 5 Smart Tips to Boost Your Biology Marks

✅ 1. Highlight Your Command Words
Questions will tell you exactly what to do if you’re paying attention.
Underline words like explain, describe, compare, evaluate so you don’t miss the goal of the question.

📊 2. Annotate Before You Answer
Use your pen on the paper! Mark up tables, graphs, and diagrams so you understand exactly what’s being shown before you start writing.

🧪 3. Questions are designed for you to show off content knowledge…
So avoid vague phrases and use the keywords you’ve revised: osmosis, active transport, denatured enzyme, surface area to volume ratio. That’s what gets marks.

🧠 4. Plan Before You Write (Especially on 4–6 markers)
Jot down quick bullet points before writing long answers: this keeps your answer focused and ensures you don’t miss a key point.

🔁 5. Check Your Marks – and Match Them
Ask yourself: “Have I written enough for __ marks?” “Did I explain why or just describe?” Make checking a habit before you move on.
