About GCSE Biology
GCSE Biology explores how living things work, from the inner life of cells to whole ecosystems. For students in Years 10-11 (ages 14-16), these teacher-written quizzes provide quick, focused practice with instant feedback, helping you find weak spots early and build confidence for exam day.
Biology answers score highly when you use precise key terms. Practise saying what something is, how it works, and why it matters, using the correct scientific vocabulary.
What This Section Covers
This section supports revision across core GCSE Biology areas such as cells, movement of substances, infection and response, bioenergetics, homeostasis, inheritance, ecology and practical skills. Quizzes help you practise definitions, processes and data handling, so you can apply knowledge to unfamiliar exam questions.
How to Revise Biology Effectively
Use quizzes for spaced retrieval. Take one quiz, read the feedback, then repeat it after 24-48 hours. Mix topics across the week and keep a short list of “repeat next” quizzes, so you focus time on the areas that will improve your score fastest.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I use these quizzes for revision?
Start with a topic you have just studied, then take a quiz to test recall. Use the feedback to fix mistakes, and re-try after 24-48 hours to strengthen memory. Keep sessions short and regular.
Do the quizzes match my exam board?
They cover the core GCSE Biology content common to major exam boards. Emphasis can vary, so use quizzes alongside your specification and classwork to target the areas your board prioritises.
Can parents use these at home?
Yes. Each quiz is ten questions with instant feedback, so it is easy to build a routine. Parents can support by encouraging regular practice and talking through any tricky explanations.
How can I improve on questions about practicals and data?
After each quiz, practise describing what the results show using “increases”, “decreases” and “because”. Check you can identify anomalies, suggest improvements, and link conclusions to evidence.
