There is a real shortage of examination resources at the moment for classes taking the exams in Biology 2025.

The specimen papers are easily found by students on the web, so we need some original questions in the style of the new exams. The question style is not really changed in the new guide, but it's not so easy to adapt past papers. There are some new skills mentioned and several new topics.

We are working on a set of exam papers which will take the style of the summer 2025 exams.

The papers will be ready at the start of January 2025 and will have the following structure:

• Paper 1a - Multiple choice quesions
• Paper 1b - Questions testing skills and NOS based on data conneted to the syllabus
• Paper 2 - Three sections,
  • Data based questions based on an unfamiliar research paper
  • Shorter answer structured questions based on the Biology syllabus
  • Extended response questions in three parts, connected by a concept or theme.

As a teaser, here is the SL paper 1b
