Revision booklets for 2018 IAL biology specification for unit one and two. Booklets contains a specification checklist, a sampling of past paper questions for each topic across both units, and mark schemes to follow the questions. Year 12’s have used these primarily for homework and for end of topic assessment revision. The booklet represents various questions that students can be asked in the unit one and two exams, but is not intended to serve as a comprehensive review of every possible question. Students are suplemented with additional past paper questions (from sites like Physics & Maths Tutor, and SaveMyExams) as a result of this.
