Biology alone accounts for 40 percent of the paper. Within Biology, Cell Biology and Genetics consistently carry the highest weightage. If you are short on time, prioritize these chapters: they offer the highest marks per hour studied.
How to Use This Syllabus
Do not study every chapter equally. Use past paper analysis to identify high-frequency topics and allocate your time accordingly. Parhlai's analytics show exactly which topics have appeared most in recent papers, so you can focus where it matters.
