Week 1
Audit + Cells & Transport
- Complete the 0610 syllabus checklist honestly. Your unticked rows become this plan
- Revise: Organisation of the organism (Topic 2) + Movement into & out of cells (Topic 3)
- Drill magnification calculations and the osmosis definition until word-perfect
- Finish with 20 MCQs from a past Paper 1/2 on these topics
Week 2
Molecules, Enzymes & Plant Nutrition
- Revise: Biological molecules (4), Enzymes (5), Plant nutrition (6)
- Make one-page summaries: food tests table, enzyme graphs (temperature & pH), leaf adaptations
- Answer two 6-mark questions on enzymes/photosynthesis; mark against the mark scheme
Week 3
Human Body I
- Revise: Human nutrition (7), Transport in animals (9), Gas exchange (11)
- Draw the heart and alimentary canal from memory; check against the textbook
- Past-paper structured questions on digestion and the circulatory system
Week 4
Human Body II + Catch-up
- Revise: Respiration (12), Excretion (13), Coordination & response (14)
- Learn the reflex arc sequence and homeostasis (S) as flowcharts
- Catch-up buffer: clear anything unfinished from weeks 1–3
Week 5
Genetics, Reproduction & Ecology
- Revise: Reproduction (16), Inheritance (17), Variation & selection (18), Ecology (19–20)
- Practise Punnett squares and pedigree questions until automatic
- Write out the carbon cycle and (Extended) nitrogen cycle from memory
Week 6
Past papers begin
- Sit one full Paper 1/2 (MCQ) and one Paper 3/4 (theory), timed
- Mark with the real mark scheme; log every lost mark in an error notebook
- Re-revise the two worst topics revealed by the papers
Week 7
Papers + practical paper focus
- Sit another full theory paper, timed; review with the examiner report if available
- Dedicated Paper 6 (or 5) session: variables, observation tables, graph rules, evaluation phrases
- Drill command words. Know exactly what "explain" demands vs "describe"
Week 8
Final polish
- One last full paper set under exam conditions
- Review your whole error notebook. These are YOUR personal traps
- Re-memorise high-yield definitions (osmosis, active transport, homeostasis, trophic terms)
- Sleep. A rested brain out-scores a crammed one.
