A level Biology - Which exam board?

Hi everyone,

I’m doing fast track Biology next year (online learning) and I’ve heard Biology exams are infamous for not having the most straightforward questions… Is there any exam board that you’d recommend over others? I’ve heard OCR is the best but none of the online courses really do OCR as far as I’ve found, so I guess I’m mainly looking at Edexcel and AQA. Let me know!!

I am thinking of doing it online and fast track, what platform do you use? Do you take any other science courses?

I would recommend AQA as it has the most available resources :smile:

Im doing it with cloudlearn, yeah I had to pay ~£350 for the course (you get 5 papers which the tutor marks for you, 2 of them are used for predicted grades and you can message them questions any time). Then it costs another ~£400 to book the actual exam, which I booked with tutors and exams, they’re a really great provider and have lots of exam centres. You also get 10% off if you’re registered with one of their partner online learning services (e.g. cloudlearn). In my experience, I prefer to use my own resources than the online ones, but it’s rlly useful for getting a predicted grade and mocks
