Eduqas A Level Biology Past Papers, Mark Schemes and Examiners' Reports

Every Eduqas A Level Biology (A400) and AS Biology (B400) paper since the current specification began, with the mark scheme beside each one, the examiners' report for every series, and the Eduqas specimen papers. Use the switch to choose A level or AS. On a phone, tap a series to open it.

How to get the most from a paper

  1. Do it timed, in one sitting, with no notes: 2 hours for each A level component, 1 hour 30 minutes for each AS component.
  2. Mark it yourself with the mark scheme. Be strict: if your wording isn't on the scheme, don't give yourself the mark.
  3. For every question you dropped marks on, read what the examiners' report says about it. That is where you find out what the examiners actually wanted.

A level Components 1, 2 and 3 are each out of 100 marks (300 in all). AS Components 1 and 2 are out of 75 each.

QP = question paper, MS = mark scheme, ER = examiners' report. Eduqas writes one examiners' report per series covering every component, so it sits under the series name. Each link opens the PDF in a new tab. No examiners' report is listed for AS Autumn 2021 because Eduqas didn't publish one. Compare grade boundaries across every year.
