understand biology
Complete papers catalogued by date
Practicing with past paper exam questions is essential if you want to achieve top marks. A level Biology is a challenging subject that requires application of knowledge and concepts rather than simple repetition of facts. Unlike GCSE, the A level exam questions are written to ensure you won’t get great marks unless you really understand the content on a deep level. It’s not about just remembering the right answer; you need to actively construct it.
Practice is also important because it’s easy to be fooled into believing you know a topic better than you do. Testing yourself is extremely useful for identifying where you need to revise content. Going through past papers under exam-like conditions can also help you learn how to manage your time during exams, and build familiarity with the process which may help reduce anxiety during the real exams.
If you are looking for A level biology questions by topic rather than full past papers, go to the Free Revision Resources page.
