Summary: Very helpful!
Comment: This is the best biology software that I have tried. It covers all the topics even for the 2005/2006 exams. It is reasonably interactive and has various animations that clarify complex areas of the syllabus. You can choose to have the information read out to you or not and there are exams questions or quick questions; both relevant and both very helpful indeed. This makes learning and revising a Level biology so much easier.

Summary: A Good Supplement for A Level Biologists
Comment: I am currently studying A Level Biology and this software has really helped me through my revision. It is partcularly good in that it contains both quick and exam style questions for each section and will calculate your score after completing each one so that you can check your progress.If you haven't got much memory space on your computer then this is ideal: it can either be installed so there is no need to insert the CD everytime you want to use it, or it will run directly from the CD.
Topics covered include photosynthesis, respiration, homeostasis, biological molecules, the environment and cell structure. I found this software particularly useful on photosynthesis and the nervous system which are explained throughly with a range of diagrams to support the text and if you don't like reading from a computer screen then there is no need to worry because you can chose whether or not to have the main text read out to you.
It doesn't matter what syllabus you are studying I can guarentee that this software package will be of real use to you, taking the stress out of revision and helping you to improve or maintain your grade.A great change from hand-written notes!

Summary: The Perfect solution for revision
Comment: I found the strong point of this software was its coverage of the central nervous system which was a topic that I found confusing. After each section there is an option to try either exam style questions or quick questions, which are really useful if you are in the intial stages of revision and want to check how much you have taken in. At the end of the questions it calculates your score and answers are provided after each question. Coverage of homeostasis is particularly good and the presentation of ideas and difficult concepts through the use of diagrams makes learning A-Level Biology a much more rewarding experience.

Suitable for AS and A2 level students, The Times Education Series A Level Biology is an interactive CD-ROM prepared by biology teachers and university lecturers which supports the National Core for Biology at an Advanced level. The program's divided into eight chapters and covers molecular biology, cell ultrastructure, the "genetic code", variation and inheritance, energy and living organisms, transport systems (i.e., the body's "plumbing") homeostasis, and ecology and ecosystems. As each chapter appears on the screen, it's also read out aloud--a technique which can help keep wayward minds focussed on the task in hand. Chapters are divided into different sub-headings (the energy chapter for example, contains sub-sections covering adenosine triphosphate, photosynthesis and respiration) and each includes a button underneath the main screen which will take you to quick questions, designed to give students the chance to brush up on what they've just learned, and 'Exam questions' which mimic the more formal style of question you're likely to find at the end of the course. (Those who just love a test can jump straight to both sets of questions from the main menu as well). As you work through the chapters you'll find plenty of tables and diagrams to support the text--on occasions there are also some natty 3-D animations (for example, explaining how semi-lunar valves prevent blood from re-entering the heart once it's been forced out into the arteries)--but really, given the subject matter, it would have been good to see more. Like other programs in the series, the uncluttered interface is easy to understand; you can skip through chapters using the tabs at the top of each screen or use the buttons beneath to jump to the beginning or end of a chapter, and chapters can also be printed out. Finally, by clicking on the Information button on the main screen you can get printable summaries of both the AS and A2 Level Biology courses. In terms of content, this is an excellent and supportive study aid though it's hard to understand why more multimedia elements weren't included.--Rob Beattie
