So I recently uploaded a post giving tips on how to study history and I was requested by @cherrylips-cherrysoul to make a biology version so… Here it is!
- Taking Notes. I recommend taking notes in whatever format suites you, some like the Cornell method, i personally just jot down things on the page and later copy the notes out onto Onenote (meaning i can access my notes on my computer or the Onenote app on my phone)
- Asking Questions. Ask your teacher questions, that’s what they’re there for. If you don’t understand the lesson make sure that you understand it before you leave, do this by asking your teacher.
I think the most important thing about studying biology is UNDERSTANDING the topics, not just memorising the information. If you don’t understand it you can’t apply it.
Read. Read your revision guides, articles and books it makes so much of a difference, and helps you understand what is going on in your lessons.
Watch Videos. There are so many great youtube channels that can teach you so much about biology and they may phrase things in a way differently to your teacher allowing you to look at the topic from a different perspective.
Make Flashcards (Again I like to use Quizlet as I can access my flashcards whenever I need them). You could use them for information about formulas, key ideas and facts.
Mindmaps, Link your ideas!! I think it’s so important to do this as, again, it makes you link your ideas and actually understand the topic.
Teach Someone! (or just pretend to), once again I think that this works for any subject and this is my favourite technique for memorising information, it means that you know that you understand topics and don’t just memorise them.
Do it ASAP. If you have to write about an experiment you did do it as soon as possible, this way the experiment is fresh in your mind.
Research. Research similar experiments or the topic your experiment is about in order to gain more understanding.
Smile!, I remember reading a study that found that students that sat an exam while smiling did significantly better than those who didn’t smile. I don’t know if I believe this and I’m usually against ‘exam hacks’ but I honestly believe smiling can make you do better, it makes you feel more confident and you spend less time stressing.
Know the exam format. When you enter an exam you should know - the style of questions you will be asked (multiple choice, essay-based i.e.), the length of the exam and the percentage of your grade it counts towards… this can easily be. found on your exam board’s website.
Practice makes perfect. I recommend taking and marking as many practice tests as you can, it makes you familiar with the process (and so less nervous in the actual exam), it also highlights your weakest areas and gives you ideas of what the. examiners are looking for.
Once again feel free to share your own tips and let’s ace this together.
Please request what topic you would like me to do next because I’m thinking of making this a series.

I've been meaning to properly read the batman comics but idk how or where to start,,, pls help?
I actually started reading batman by literally searching up "batman comic reading order" ... huge mistake. unless you want to read the comics in order. that's up to you but for me, there were just too many comics and some of them, I had no interest in but I had to "push through them" to read the comic that I actually did want to read.
tip one: search up "(character) recommended reading" and not "(character) reading order" - this one works for any character, that's why I wrote "character"
tip two: read batman: year one. I'm not necessarily into telling people what to read, because sometimes they might not like it or it's not their style, but this comic is basically his origin story in four short issues, which I personally found were an amazing start to delving into his character
tip three: I feel like everyone says this, but just pick one up. just pick one and start reading. more often than not, you won't need to have prerequisite knowledge to understand that comic, but if you do, you can always go back to the comic that the comic is leading off from
tip four: have some knowledge about the rest of the batfam. you don't need to know their backstories or anything major, just know who they are. like alfred is bruce's butler/father figure, (dick, jason, tim, cass, damian) are all his children and vigilantes (nightwing, red hood, red robin...etc)
tip five: have fun :))
some websites that personally helped me when I started <33
these websites aren't the best, obviously, but they are a great bridge (I guess) into batman's character.
a t4t bkdk hunger games au that i wrote on a whim and very self-indulgentyly. i don’t write a lot of fic but this is one i’m super super proud of :-)
I have no desire to fit in. No plans to walk with the crowd. I have my own mind, heart and soul. I am me and it has taken me years to realize how important that is.
—R.M. Drake
Ne crains jamais d’en faire trop,
car je n’en ai jamais assez de toi.
Je me délecte de tes paroles,
et tes soupirs sont mon oxygène.
Si seulement je pouvais fondre contre toi,
je ne connaîtrais plus jamais ni le froid,
ni la crainte
de te voir partir
à tout jamais
Never fear to be too much,
for I can never have enough of you.
I revel in your words,
and your sighs are my oxygen.
If only I could melt into you,
I would never know cold again,
nor the fear
to see you go
forever
JUJUTSU KAISEN CHAPTER 267 ENGLISH TRANSLATION VIA RAGNAROK SCANS ⭐
I don’t know about y’all, but prepositions are the WORST. They hardly ever directly translate between languages and when they do, there are so many exceptions it doesn’t even matter. So, I’ve done some research and I’ll try to make the list as comprehensive as possible :)
But as you know, French is not that easy. You will also see de and à frequently interspersed between verbs and even used as adverbs and adjectives. Below I have listed a few verbs that take these prepositions.
Aider (quelqu'un) à (to help someone to)
S’amuser à (to amuse oneself)
Avoir à (to have to)
Apprendre à (to learn how to)
Avoir de la peine à (to have difficulty)
Commencer à
Continuer à
The preposition à can also be used to indicate place, time, manner or possession
À droite (on the right)
À loisir (at leisure)
À la compagne (in the mountains)
À la française ([in] the french way)
Cette voiture est à toi? (This car is yours?)
S’arreter de
Cesser de
Choisir de
Décider de
Se dépêcher de (to be in a hurry
Essayer de
Finir de
Oublier de
Refuser de
Conseiller à (quelqu’un) de (faire quelque chose)
Défendre à… de
Demander à…de
Dire à… de
Offrir à … de
Permettre à… de
Promettre à… de
Proposer à… de
Suggérer à…de
Hope this helps !!
POSTING THIS AGAIN!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!!
