Edexcel IGCSE Biology Predicted Exams 1B Bundle - Includes 2025 Edition!

3 Resources
This bundle includes the 2025 predicted exam for Edexcel IGCSE Biology 1B (4BI1) as well as the 2024 and 2023 editions for unbeatable value! The original and still the best! For a fourth year running, our heads of department have been hard at work to create a series of predicted exams for Summer 2025! These questions are completely original and have been designed from scratch. There has been no reuse of previous exam questions. Our predicted papers follow the format of the true Edexcel IGCSE Biology 1B paper closely, with the CORMS and graph question included. It is also the exact duration and mark-count, with questions of increasing difficulty. A mark scheme is also attached. Disclaimer: This document was created by department heads with many years of experience teaching the Pearson Edexcel IGCSE Biology course. We cannot however guarantee that it is an accurate representation of the 2025 examinations and students should not treat it as such. Please use this as an aid, alongside other methods of revision.
