About this guide
Each topic is organised in a memorable format, with bilingual subject terminology that helps Vietnamese students grasp the concepts while getting familiar with the English vocabulary used in exams. The content is written so students can study on their own without depending on a teacher.
The book suits both the Core and Extended tiers, focusing on the key points that frequently appear in Cambridge Papers 1, 2, 4 and 6.

- After each chapter, redraw a mind map of the biological processes (photosynthesis, respiration, circulation)

- Practise answering definition and experiment-description questions in the style Cambridge rewards
- Revisit tough topics like genetics and homeostasis regularly by testing yourself
Questions about this guide
Can the book be used by both Core and Extended candidates?
Yes. The content covers the entire 0610 syllabus, and the Extended-only material is clearly marked so Core students can skip it.
Does the book support the practical exam (Paper 6)?
Yes. It explains how to describe experiments and variables and how to present results as required by the alternative-to-practical exam.
