Understanding scientific principles and applying them in new contexts is central to effective science learning. This book is designed to meet the requirements of the HKDSE Biology examination by focusing on conceptual understanding rather than rote memorisation. It presents a wide range of question types, including short‑answer, structured, and essay questions, reflecting current examination expectations.
Emphasis is placed on data analysis, experimental work, and the interpretation of visual materials such as photographs and electron micrographs. Organised in line with the latest HKDSE Biology Curriculum and Assessment Guide, the book enables efficient revision and builds students’ confidence in tackling examination‑style questions.
This book covers the “Cells and Molecules of Life” section of the HKDSE Biology curriculum.

Modern science examinations place increasing emphasis on students’ ability to apply biological concepts rather than simply recall facts. This book addresses this shift by providing targeted practice aligned with the assessment approach of the HKDSE Biology examination. A variety of question formats are included to develop both conceptual understanding and examination skills.
With a strong focus on experimental data analysis and practical‑based questions, the book helps students become familiar with commonly tested skills. Questions based on real specimens and micrographs further strengthen observational and analytical abilities. Structured according to the latest HKDSE Biology Curriculum and Assessment Guide, the book supports systematic revision and confident exam preparation.
This book covers the first part of the “Organisms and Environment” section of the HKDSE Biology curriculum.

This book aims to support students in mastering the conceptual demands of the HKDSE Biology examination. Recognising that success depends on understanding and application rather than factual recall, it offers carefully designed questions that reflect current examination trends and assessment objectives.
Students are guided through data‑based questions, experimental analysis, and visual interpretation tasks involving real specimens and micrographs. Marks are clearly indicated to encourage effective time management and concise responses. Arranged in accordance with the latest HKDSE Biology Curriculum and Assessment Guide, the book serves as a practical and reliable resource for focused revision and examination readiness.
This book covers the second part of the “Organisms and Environment” section, as well as the “Genetics and Evolution” and “Health and Diseases” sections of the HKDSE Biology curriculum.
