Overall, biobrain is a great tool for revision because it presents the content in a slightly different way to my teachers at school which improves my overall understanding. I also love the practice questions which I can do on the go, wherever I am.

It does everything I would want a supplementary resource to do. Its clear, straight to the point and easy to use.
Anthony Bucca found BioBrain:
- Slightly reduces teacher workload“I use BioBrain as a supplementary resources. So it isnt meant to impact my workload at all. The students get access to BioBrain and use it to consolidate their knowledge gained from classroom teaching”

- Moderately improves attainment“Giving students a clear working plan that includes relevant sections of BioBrain helps them to achieve their goals in preparation for assessments throughout the year.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“I tell my students to use BioBrain when they are struggling with a concept - go to that section of the platform and see the information explained in a different way. This helps students understand the content.”
