🚢 Navigating the course
The content is split into Year 12 and Year 13 content. The content is then split into individual topics and grouped into sections to make it easy to scroll through and view all the topics 🎓
Year 12+13 content is organised so that each section contains everything you need to ace that topic. The recall quizzes, progress quizzes and videos for the topic are all together in the same subsection and the exam questions for that section are found at the bottom. So whether you want to learn, revise, or practise that topic, just head to the relevant section in the course 🤓
🎉 How do I MAX out my Up Score?
Aim to complete all the videos and questions in each section. Focus on quality over quantity - correct answers will boost your score much more than incorrect! Use the Strengthen button while you’re trying to increase your score within a section. Then use the Refresh Knowledge button to keep your score high 🚀
📺 Why don’t you have detailed video lessons for all topics?
Our Biology course has been designed to supercharge a student’s regular school studies. Biology is a huuuge course so we’ve crafted a streamlined and super-efficient course to make sure every minute of revision counts. We've included in-depth video lessons for the topics that students have told us are the hardest.
Since our Biology course has been designed to boost and support your regular school studies, private candidates may occasionally want to supplement their Up Learn studies with extra reading 📚
🙌 What is being added to the course ?
Can you believe students like studying on Up Learn SO MUCH they’ve been asking us for MORE WORK to do! Well, we love keeping our students happy, so we’re in the process of creating even more video content for the course
Keep an eye out on our announcements, as we're looking to launch this new content early 2025 👀
