1.0 Term
Write up biology terminology and concepts and review often. The more you review the more you' will remember. Words and symbols of biology have specific meanings. Write down all the words you do not know. Whenever possible write out the definitions in your own words. You are more likely to remember them that way. Saying it out loud and writing it up, you are more like to recall it later, when needed.
