Series : Thrive in Bioscience Revision Guides

The Thrive in Bioscience revision guides are written to help students achieve exam success in all core areas of bioscience.

Each title encourages the reader to follow four steps to maximise their learning, with features to support this process.

Step one: Review the facts
The revision guides are designed to help learning be quick and effective:
* Information is set out in bullet points, making it easy to digest

Step three: Take note of extra advice

Step four: Go the extra mile
* Readers can explore the suggestions for further reading to take their understanding one step further.
* Each title in the series is tailored to maximise understanding and achievement, to ensure that the reader really can thrive in their studies. They are the perfect course companions for any bioscience degree.
