wheres the other paper? Thank you for doing this though! how much marks would i need rougly to get a grade 4 on each paper? It is around 20-30?

The other paper is on page 1 of the thread. I'd say 20/25 marks would be your aim. Keep doing these papers and I'm certain you'll exceed that!

No worries, more to come!

I haven't done them yet as I'm printing them out at school on Monday and then doing them at home. I just downloaded them and skipped to the bottom to check the mark scheme was attached and saw the Grade boundaries and had to voice my opinion on them. I'll let you know what I get when I complete them though.

Hello, thank you for this feedback. Exactly what I needed. I was just going off best guesses but I truly appreciate that and I'll do my best to edit the boundaries. How many marks did you get on both of these ones?

I will make 3 papers per combined exam. Expect more tonight & tomorrow.

Glad to hear it!

I'll try and just add a few triple questions as making 3 papers for combined and triple is quite hard work, as you can imagine! This is still good practice though as the majority of biology topics are on combined.

No problem!

This is based on the AQA syllabus and is for Topics 1-4 which come up on Biology paper 1.

Here is set 3 for Combined Science Biology Paper 1. I've adjusted the grade boundaries a bit, thanks to @Jemma P for the help on that.

Please share your feedback on Set 3. This is the last Biology paper 1 practice, for now, so this should set you up nicely for the exam. I'll be posting more papers soon.

Good luck!

Here is a practice paper for Combined Science Higher Biology Paper 1. This is an invaluable resource prior to the exam on 15/5/18.

The lack of papers is evident so here is one to get your teeth into.

There is a mark scheme and grade boundaries included as well for your help.

The paper is out of 70 and I would appreciate any feedback. If it is positive, I will create more free papers.

Good feedback will be the grade you achieved and how easy/hard it was for you.

Enjoy and happy revising.
