I am currently studying Veterinary Science at Liverpool University having studied AQA Biology, Chemistry and Edexcel Geography at A level. I achieved A*AA in my A levels so am sharing my revision notes to help others achieve top marks. I also received 4/4 of my offers to Vet schools in the UK so have shared my interview preparation tips to help anyone who is preparing for Veterinary interviews:)

This is such an essential topic in the AQA specification as really is the foundation to the whole syllabus therefore it is essential that you understand this part of the sec thoroughly if you want to achieve top marks! I spent 2 years on this revision pack, updating and refining it so why not save your own time and use them? I used this resource to achieve top marks in my Biology A level so hope you enjoy it too!
