IGCSE Biology — Frequently Asked Questions

How is IGCSE IGCSE Biology examined?
3 papers: Paper 1 (Core) (1 hour, 30%); Paper 2 (Extended) (1 hour 15 minutes, 50%); Paper 3 (Practical) (1 hour 15 minutes, 20%). Each paper tests a different skill, so practising past papers by paper rather than by topic is usually the better use of the final weeks.
What is the difference between Core and Extended in IGCSE Biology?
Core & Extended The tier caps the grade you can achieve, so it should be chosen on current performance and on what your intended A-Level or IB course requires — not on which feels safer.
Which exam boards do you cover for IGCSE Biology?
Cambridge CIE, Edexcel, AQA and OCR. Boards differ in syllabus detail and paper structure, so tell us yours at the start and sessions will follow that specification.
What does IGCSE IGCSE Biology cover?
The specification covers 7 topics: Cell Biology, Organisation, Infection & Response, Bioenergetics, Homeostasis and 2 more.
What can IGCSE Biology lead to at A-Level?
It progresses naturally to Biology, Human Biology, Environmental Science and Psychology. A strong IGCSE grade in the subject is usually the entry requirement for taking it at A-Level.
