Cambridge International A-level Biology 9700: June 2024
The question papers, mark schemes and examiner reports Cambridge International publishes for the June 2024 series of 9700, listed paper by paper. Every link goes to Cambridge International’s own copy.
Checked against Cambridge International’s own listing on 31 August 2026.
Variant 1 of each paper. Cambridge sets several variants of the same paper in different zones and publishes one of them, which is why every paper and mark scheme below is numbered 11, 21, 31, 41 or 51 rather than 1 to 5.
Cambridge publishes much less of its archive than the other boards. When we checked this list, its public page had one examined series, June 2024 (variant 1 of each paper), and the 2022 specimen papers. Cambridge's own words for that are “This is only a selection of our papers. Registered Cambridge International Schools can access a wide range of teaching and learning materials and examination resources through our School Support Hub.” The rest is in the School Support Hub, which needs a login from your school. Without one, you have a single sat paper for each component, so save it for timed practice close to the exam.

Cambridge changed the layout and formatting of its question papers from March 2026 for accessibility, and says the assessment content, demand and types of questions will not change. A 2024 paper is still the right practice, but it will not look like the paper you sit.

The series either side
2022 specimen papers, the series before. June 2024 is the most recent series Cambridge International lists for 9700.
Every sitting of 9700 has the same structure. Only the questions change. The 9700 past papers page lists every series, and the Cambridge International Biology specification map shows which headings we teach and where.
We checked these links against the exam boards’ websites on 31 August 2026. We do not host or reproduce past papers or mark schemes. If a link has moved, go to the board’s own past papers page.
