Human and Social Biology
Collins CSEC® Human and Social Biology provides a new approach to the study
of the CSEC® HSB syllabus that focuses on the skills needed to pass and to get a top
grade. It provides full coverage of the CXC® syllabus.
• Written in clear, accessible language with worked examples and annotated
diagrams and illustrations to help explain difficult concepts
• Practice and exam-style questions focus on the key skills needed for the exam:
Recalling facts questions allow students to demonstrate what they have learned
Applying facts questions allow students to link what they have learned to
real-life examples and contexts
Analysing data questions – essential for the SBA and for a top grade – allow
students to demonstrate that they can think critically about data, analyse the
information it gives, and reach sensible and logical conclusions based on that data
• Clear guidance for the new School Based Assessment
• Advice on how SARS-CoV-2 (COVID) links to learning objectives in the syllabus
and could provide material for the SBA
