This document isn’t as neat as my notes as it was a dump during my revision period. It does still summarise key points. These techniques helped me get into medical school, I completed my a levels at Guildford high school which consistently ranks among the top schools in the UK and is known for their academic rigour. I made my notes as a summary of the power points that we were taught off of.
