I wrote these cards while studying for my own A Levels, between 2021 and 2023. I got three A*s and went on to obtain a First Class Degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge. In 2026 I rebuilt my flashcards: the diagrams have been redrawn or replaced with copyright-free sources, equations are properly typeset, and spelling and formatting have been tidied throughout. Most of the marks in A Level Biology come from applying and analysing what you know, so the answers explain why and link structure to function, rather than just listing facts.

Free deck vs full deck
My free decks on AnkiWeb used diagrams and screenshots from textbooks and revision sites that I didn't own, so I've taken them out. The free decks still work, but some cards had to go and others lost their diagram, so they no longer cover every point in the specification. The full deck has all of those cards back, organised to follow the AQA specification, with every diagram redrawn or replaced with a copyright-free one.

What students said about the free deck
Reviews of my free Biology deck on AnkiWeb, written before the 2026 rebuild. 17 of 18 thumbs up overall.
“I've been searching online: Ankiweb, Cognito, Savemyexams - the whole lot. … all the AnkiWeb decks were either disorganised, too detailed, or not detailed enough.
But, I found this deck and can say it has satisfied my requirements!”
“so well organised - literally the textbook in flashcard form”
“This deck is so good! It is so clearly organised and so detailed!!
So many hand written notes included and so detailed answers!!”
“Perfect, Well organised and great detail”
