Questions about this guide
Does the book support the practical paper?
Yes. It includes practical skills, experiment design and analysis to prepare for the Cambridge Biology practical papers.
How can students who are weak in English terminology use the book effectively?
Combine building a bilingual glossary with redrawing process diagrams; the book explains concepts clearly, so it is well suited to learning the content and the specialist vocabulary at the same time.
