These notes include in depth, detailed summaries, with visual diagrams and colour coding of the following topics: - Basic terminology - Causes of variation - Founder effect & divergent vs convergent evolution - Speciation (allopatric vs sympatric) - Reproductive isolation These notes are in the form of digital hand written notes. I used these notes personally when studying for my finals in Life Sciences - I obtained 100% for my portfolio assessments and 95% as my final mark (top 1% nationally).

Daisy's Study Notes

Hi there! I am selling my IEB matric (grade 12) as well as my grade 10 and 11 notes. All are in the form of neat, in depth hand-written digital summaries. I used these notes to to personally study for all of my assessments and matriculated with an overall average of 95%. These results placed me in the Top 5% Outstanding Achievers Category and in the Top 1% for 6 of my subjects nationally, with 8 distinctions overall. This earned me dux at my school, where I served as head girl and 2nd place across all AdvTech schools nationally. I am now studying medicine at UCT, while also providing individual peer tutoring to current high-school students. Please feel free to contact me at if you have any queries. All the best with your studying!
