Practise A-level biology

416 original questions worth 1423 marks, across 70 topics, every one written for this library with a mark scheme coded point by point.

Question practice

All 416 questions, one at a time, marked by you against the scheme. Or sit a timed set of any length.

Flashcards

Definitions, self-checks and misconceptions, scheduled from your own grading of each card.

Practical capabilities

The twelve techniques, the maths each carries, and where marks go missing.

Command words

What each one obliges the mark scheme to accept, and how these schemes are coded.

How to use them

Write the answer out before opening a scheme. That is the whole method, and it is the part people skip: reading a mark scheme is recognition, and recognition is a poor guide to what you could have produced. Then mark point by point rather than by feel. An answer that reads well and makes three of five points is a three.

On paper

Every lesson also has a printable workbook: the same questions with room to work, in a navy screen edition and an ink-saving print edition, and the mark schemes in a separate book so you cannot read them by accident. They are linked from the foot of each lesson, and they are the same questions as the player above, so working through one and then the other is repetition rather than more practice.

Every question is original InkBiology material. None is taken from a past paper or from any board’s mark scheme.
