This is a handwritten summary of essentially the entire AQA Biology A-Level textbook in less than 200 pages. It has a few gaps, it only contains 2 of the statistical tests (student t and chi-squared) and it doesn't include the chapter on 'investigating transport in plants'. It provides an overview of all of the main content points needed for the AQA A-Level Biology exam from the official AQA textbook and it was what I based all of my revision materials around. It also contains example long answer 4, 5 and 6 marker questions with the answers and some example essay questions with key points for each to base an essay around.
