More Information on our Biology Grinds

Over the coming academic year, we will cover the Leaving Cert Biology course in great depth in the weekly grinds. Many students view the Leaving Cert Biology course as very long and challenging. Our Biology notes help you manage the information much better and make revising and conquering the course more achievable.

We will show you how to achieve a H1 standard through interpreting exam questions correctly and by identifying the keywords. We will demonstrate the importance of understanding how marking schemes can benefit you.

You will receive exam-focused Biology notes, which contain all past exam questions and solutions at the end of each topic. You will also get a booklet containing all experiment notes worth at least 15% and a booklet containing all definitions worth at least 20% of the Biology exam paper. These notes will help you gain confidence as they condense the syllabus by focusing on the essential material to achieve that high grade.
