Top Exam Tips for GCSE Biology

Expert strategies for biology exam success

1
Learn Key Definitions

Biology exams test your understanding of terminology. Make flashcards for key terms and learn precise definitions—vague answers lose marks.

2
Master Required Practicals

15% of marks relate to practicals. Know the method, variables (independent, dependent, control), and how to evaluate experiments.

3
Practice Drawing Diagrams

You'll need to draw and label diagrams (cells, organs, ecosystems). Practice drawing clearly with sharp pencil and accurate labels.

4
Understand Genetics Problems

Practice Punnett squares and genetic crosses. Show all steps: identify alleles, draw the square, work out ratios—method marks are available.

5
Link Structure to Function

Many questions ask how structure relates to function. For example, why red blood cells are biconcave, or why villi have large surface areas.

6
Read Extended Response Questions Carefully

6-mark questions test quality of written communication. Plan your answer, use scientific terminology, and write in logical paragraphs.
