Hi, this is my biology Year 1 deck (use with my Bio year 2 deck to get the whole spec of OCR A!) Anki was an essential part of my studies as it provides spaced repetition with quizzing. My deck contains definitions, exam-style questions and the occasional quirky comment because i didnt think i would share my deck when i started making it... but now that Alevels are over i dont have the courage to delete them. Using anki i achieved 5 A*s in Biology, Chemistry, French, Maths and Further Maths so I hope this deck is useful to you. Good luck!
