Lesson 4: Time Management

The last thing we'll tell you (in this section) about your A-level Biology exams is that time management is more important than getting the answer correct in the first place.

Unless you get extra time, for Papers 1 and 2, you get just a minute a mark in each paper.

Sometimes it might be a good idea to move on to another question, put a star at the top of the page and come back to it if you have more time (mainly because for the longer questions at the end, you might want a little more than a minute per mark).

Try and complete the questions as fast as possible to make sure you have enough time for all the questions. If the question is only worth 1 mark, don't waste time writing more than a few words or a sentence. Make all your answers short and to the point.

If you've got any time left at the end check all of your answers. First, you should make sure you've answered every question. Then check your answers starting with the longer answers and calculations.
