These tests are suitable for OCR A biology specification and many others! Every year I make new mock papers for Year 12 and 13 This helps me identify the students that need to be placed into intervention. As we have two teachers per class, it is usually paper 1 and paper 2. For year 12: Paper 1 assesses them on: biological molecules, nucleic acids, cell division,diversitiy and cell differentiation (up to meiosis only) = 36 marks Paper 2: assesses them on: cells, enzymes and biological memranes up to osmosis only. = 38 marks Grade boundaries for individual papers and total papers %: A*= 75 A=64 B=57 C=48 D=43 E=39 For Y13: Paper 1:Modules 1-5 Paper 2: Modules 1-6 Grade boundaries: A*= 71 A=61 B=56 C=47 D=40 E=35
