Improving your grade in any class involves a combination of approaches (depending on what works best for you):
Understanding the Material: Make sure you understand the concepts thoroughly enough to be able to summarize them to someone else. If something is unclear, ask your teacher for help or seek additional resources like textbooks, online tutorials or videos, or in-person tutoring.
Regular Study Habits: Create a study schedule and stick to it. Consistent studying, even in small increments each day, can help reinforce your understanding of the material. Try dedicating 30 minutes every day to studying, even if it's just going over flashcards or watching a few short Youtube videos about the subject
Participate Actively in Class: Engage in discussions, ask questions, and participate in activities. Active participation can help you understand the material better and make it easier to remember. Don't be afraid to ask for more detail about topics that are confusing or unclear.
Practice Test-Taking Strategies: If you feel confident about your understanding of the material but struggle on tests, it can help to get more comfortable with the format of exams and practice test-taking strategies such as time management, reading questions carefully, and eliminating obviously wrong answers.
Reflect and Adjust: After each test or unit, reflect on your study methods and grades. If something isn't working for you, be willing to adjust your approach. If you see improvement, keep using the techniques that worked well. Everyone learns differently, so find what works best for you.

Uncertain about your requirements? Typically, the optimal method for conducting in-depth studies involves targeted research on specific topics. Begin by formulating the right questions, then proceed to investigate through topic-specific articles, reviews, books, and book chapters. Make use of a journal to jot down your key findings. Commit these keys to memory. Expand your vocabulary and sketch out the narratives. Biology is a field rife with various mechanisms, pathways, and cycles. It's essential to familiarize yourself with the molecular participants in each. Seek out the latest theorized pathways. In due course, you'll be able to formulate your own theory to validate, otherwise known as a working hypothesis.
