YouTube Channels
A-Level specific
1. BioRach - YouTube channel that has content specialised for the OCR spec however still amazingly helpful for CIE.
2. David De Lecturer - Amazing resource for preparing for P3 and P5.
3. Tailored Tutors - Perfect explanations into concepts that have been the easiest to understand for me. It's AQA specific but I've found it great for CIE too.
4. SnapRevise - Not my favourite, but some of their videos have been really helpful.
Other channels (equally as good!)
5. Amoeba Sisters - Simple explanations and introductions into more complex topics, perfect for A-Level.
6. CrashCourse - Hank Green is a marvel so it's needless to say his biology videos are top notch.
5. Professor Dave Explains - Easy to understand videos, pretty sure he has ones that cover all the basics.

other
1. BioNinja - This, hands down, is my favourite resource for biology. There are incredibly helpful diagrams, the notes are well-written and easy to understand, with just enough extra information you might need.
2. KhanAcademy - I don't really use their YouTube videos for A Level biology, but their articles are probably my most used resource (after BioNinja). Check their AP biology and MCAT tabs for the best resources.
3. biology4alevel - Features notes according to the 2016 syllabus (still really useful).
4. alevelbiology.co.uk - Another really good website for A-Level specific notes.
5. s-cool - A-Level specific, good explanations.
6. Save My Exams - Probably the most popular resource for notes. You'll see that the notes here and biology4alevel are just a summarised version of Cambridge International AS and A Level Biology Coursebook.
7. bio.libretexts.org - For best results, search your topic and then add "libretexts" after it as navigating around the site is a bit of a nuisance.
8. BYJU'S - There are some really good pages here about A2 topics, however I've found navigating this site rather tedious. For best results, search your topic and then add "BYJU'S" after it.
