So we're doing edexcel for biology and on our timetable it says paper 1 and paper 2. However when I try and look for past papers on the edexcel website it says unit 1,2 and 3. Is this the same for anyone? can anyone direct me to a correct past paper? And does anyone know what's the difference in terms of content for paper 1 and 2?

I am also doing the sciences from edexcel. If you are doing the full biology gcse you will do 3 units- B1, B2, B3 and a practical Controlled Assessment. (chemistry C1, C2, C3 and a CA, physics P1, P2, P3 and a CA). All of these are one hour exams (so in the summer I'll be sitting 9 exams- I've already done my 3 controlled assessments).
Since your timetable only seems to list 2 Biology papers, then i would assume you are not doing separate sciences but are doing core and additional science gcses
(Core Science- B1, C1, P1 plus a practical controlled assessment
Additional Science- B2, C2, P2 plus a practical controlled assessment)
So Paper 1 for Biology probably refers to B1 and Paper 2 to B2

Nah man, i'm doing AQA for chemistry and physics which compose of 3 tests each it's just the biology exam that's edexcel and it's like that for everyone in the school. My bio paper 1 is 2h long so have they combined unit 1 and 2 and just called it paper ?

Edexcel B1 is going to be on the 17th of May in the afternoon for everyone doing edexcel science, for example. So this is why papers cannot be combined
