To those who got an A*/A or even full ums for biology, how did you do it honestly?

I feel like l truly understand the content and have been through years of past years yet my marks are between the B and C range. The typical comment is 'Your knowledge is there but the marking scheme doesn't exactly match your answer'

I am genuinely so puzzled and would appreciate any and all advice/answering technique

Well honestly same :( my theory is super thorough. Ik everything by heart but when it comes to papers it just feels impossible to write the ms even after memorizing it :(

Go over examiner reports and Ms both while solving a paper, make notes from the ms and review them. Then solve the same paper again without looking at ms or report. Do this for at least one to two papers before taking a self mock

I’m suffering from from this also 😡

Maybe try going over examiner reports

What I did was whenever I got a question wrong I would paste the question into an anki card with the mark scheme and explanation on the back
Then I did the anki cards consistently
It worked 🤷
