Flashcards for WJEC GCSE Biology (3400), the Wales specification version 3 for first teaching from 2016 with the new Unit 3 from 2026, split into Unit 1 and Unit 2 and then by topic in the specification's order, with the specified practicals in their topics and a subdeck of scientific enquiry skills, terminology and mathematical skills. Higher-tier cards say so. Delete or suspend any subdeck your course leaves out.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
