GSQT – In the first 2 years of junior secondary level, IGCSE is the concrete initial step for the high school and pre-university around the world. Nonetheless, according to many students who have shared about the barriers they face when they have to absorb a large amount of knowledge when they start learning the new subjects – one of them is Biology in English. So is it necessary to join IGCSE Biology extra classes?

In elementary school, students have already get acquaintance with basic Biology through science subjects in the national curriculum. Those are the universal information and there is no separation between Biology and other science subjects like Physics or Chemistry. Therefore, the unfamiliarity when learning from such an in-depth curriculum like IGCSE is inevitable.

Not only does IGCSE Biology course provides a solid base for students at the age of 14-16, it was developed to encourage the passion of discovering the world through each chapter. The interesting information is gradually revealed through lessons about living body, cells, nutrition, diseases, respiratory, regeneration, genetic technology, biotechnology or even broader is about human on the ecosystems.

Even though the knowledge is quite interesting, the fact that students have to learn by heart, avoid mistakes and apply what they have learned to practice can turn things around drastically. Following are some advice for you to study IGCSE Biology more effectively.

First, the hardest part when learning Biology in English is to memorize and distinguish the specialized terms. Prepare yourself a notebook to update new words everyday, then try to do research on them. If you can understand them, the memorizing part will be much easier.

Next, you should mind-map regularly to synthesize the past chapters to know the relations between them, which really helps when it comes to long-term memorizing. And don’t over-look the charts and graphs. You may see them gain in your exams in the form of drawing or filling gaps questions.

Lastly, do more exercises and tests to check your understanding and gain experience to higher your score in the exams to come.
