Cambridge International A-level Biology 9700 Paper 2: AS Level Structured Questions

9700/2 · 1 hour 15 minutes · 60 marks · 23.0% of the A level.

What it examines

Structured questions on the AS Level syllabus content.

Sixty marks in 75 minutes is about a minute and a quarter per mark, which is the pace to practise at. Mark the paper with the mark scheme straight afterwards, and give yourself a mark only where your answer makes the point the scheme lists, not where you meant it. Papers 1 and 2 examine the same AS content, so a topic that costs you marks on one is worth practising for both.
