There is an old saying that you are only as good as the tools you use. Originally this referred to physical tools, such as the correct size of hammer or paintbrush. Today, the idea of ‘tools’ has been extended to mean any resource that someone needs to complete a task successfully.
Your task is to successfully complete an AS, A-level, Higher or Advanced Higher course in biology. You might complete it next summer or the following summer, but you will spend the intervening time working towards it. Your lecturers or teachers will be a vital resource. They will have given you course materials, which are relevant tools. They will also have provided you with opportunities to develop your practical skills. You might also have a textbook and/or a revision guide, which might or might not be approved by your exam board. But are these tools sufficient?
