My HKDSE Biology Deck
Hi, I took the 2025 DSE. I made an Anki deck to help me with Biology. Perhaps you might find it useful.
This deck is absolutely not comprehensive. It covers many chapters, but it's not very in-depth for most of them. There's still quite some referential value in here, hopefully. Maybe use it as a starting point to build your own.
Do note that experimental intuition and nature of science are very important concepts that can't be purely memorized. Try not to solely rely on Anki to study Biology (or any subject for that matter). Or maybe I'm just saying this because I think I fumbled the Biology paper.
This deck includes:
- Almost all core chapters (missing the early ones)
- E1 (Human physiology) and E4 (Biotechnology)
Credit for special note types from other people:
- Image Occlusion Enhanced from Glutanimate
- A custom basic card type from u/xalbo on Reddit
17/7/25 Update: Got 5** in Biology. I can't tell you how much of that was due to this deck, though.
