How to get an A in Biology 

Science classes, like biology, may be among the most challenging classes you’ll ever take. Getting an A in biology means looking at some of the major issues you’ll face and having tips for dealing with them.

Plan for biology study time

One of the reasons that science classes are so challenging is that they ask you to look at things you’ve never looked at before. When you take an English class or even a psychology class, you’re often on familiar ground, adding to knowledge that you’ve gained from former classes or other sources. 

Reading alone won’t get most people a good grade in a science class. To store information in your long-term memory, you have to use the information actively. You can practice what you learn in several ways:

• Do the activities in lab. Hands-on laboratory experiments help reinforce concepts from class— so come to lab prepared to do the experiments and ask questions!

• Draw processes and structures. Take out some blank paper and try to draw the things you’re learning about. Label everything and explain the concepts to yourself as you go along. Peek at your notes when you have to, but keep repeating the process until you don’t have to peek anymore.

• Explain things to others. If you study alone, you can explain things out loud to yourself. Or explain things to your significant other, your parents, your kids, or even your cat.

• Answer questions at the back of your book chapter. Instructors often recommend questions to go along with the reading. These questions are good practice, especially the critical thinking questions that ask you to think about real-life scenarios and apply what you’ve learned.
