Where can I practise A-level Biology for free?
A-level Biology is assessed by three written exam papers at the end of the two-year course, plus a separate practical endorsement (a pass/not-classified award based on the required practical activities). It covers cells, biological molecules, genetics, exchange and transport, energy (photosynthesis and respiration), responses and homeostasis, and ecology. Grades run A* to E, and it is a core requirement for most medicine, dentistry and life-science degrees.
