This test combines every topic of Key Stage 3 Science (including Biology, Chemistry and Physics) all into one. The test is out of 76 marks, and there is a maximum time of 55 minutes to complete it. Please feel free to edit the timing and questions. This is recommended for HIGHER LEVEL students, but this may be a good resource to use if some students are struggling with certain topics.
This test covers all of the Organisation unit in the GCSE AQA Biology Spec.
There is also a PowerPoint attached, which includes an ‘Exam Conditions’ slide and the Mark Scheme for the whole exam. You can use this to go through with students the correct answers, or you can mark the answers yourself with the MS.
The attached document has got 4 exam-style questions, all from past exam papers. This practise paper is for the AQA exam board, and all questions have been taken from their past papers.
The topics assessed in this paper are:
Cell biology
Organisation
Infection and Response
This is a very useful resource for revision and classroom assessment. The paper has been designed so that it should take students 55-60 minutes to complete. Students with extra time can have 10-15 minutes more to complete the exam.
The marking schemes have been attached for each question (which has been directly copied from AQA’s website).
