This lesson puts everything together. It walks you through exactly how to approach an Edexcel GCSE Biology paper from the moment you open it to the moment you put your pen down. Knowing how to sit an exam is a skill in itself — and it can be the difference between achieving your potential and falling short.
| Essential | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Black pen (plus a spare) | Highlighter (for underlining key words on the paper) |
| Pencil (for graphs and diagrams) | Bottle of water |
| Ruler (for drawing graphs and reading values) | Small snack (if allowed) |
| Rubber (eraser) | Watch (not a smart watch) |
| Calculator (scientific) | |
| Protractor (occasionally needed for graph work) |
Exam tip: Check your calculator works and has fresh batteries. Know how to use the ×10ˣ (EXP) button for standard form calculations. Practise with it before the exam.
Both papers are 1 hour 45 minutes (105 minutes) for 100 marks.
