Edexcel GCSE Biology, marked to the mark scheme.
Practise every topic on the Edexcel specification and get each answer checked against the published scheme, point by point — with the wording that would have earned the marks you missed.
No card needed
Built for Edexcel, not adapted to it.
Edexcel GCSE Biology spans 9 topics, from Key Concepts in Biology to Ecosystems & Material Cycles, and Exaim covers all 29 subtopics — with practice written for the Edexcel specification rather than adapted from another board's.
Biology is a subject of precise definitions: an answer that is nearly right in everyday words often earns nothing, because the mark scheme is waiting for one specific term. Exaim marks your written answers the way Edexcel's own examiners do, one marking point at a time, so every question shows you where a real mark was won or lost.
What you get with every Edexcel Biology course.
The same thing in every subject: real exam questions, marked properly, and a clear next step.
Marked like an examiner would
Write the answer in full and get it checked against your board’s published scheme, point by point, with the wording that would have earned each mark.
Built for your exact board
Not a generic summary written for everyone. Questions, notes and mark schemes all follow the specification you are actually sitting.
Practice, papers and timed mocks
Topic questions when you are learning something, full papers under exam conditions when you are ready to find out.
Handwritten work included
Photograph a written answer or a diagram and it is marked the same way — so you can revise on paper if that is how you work.
A plan that reorders itself
Every mark you drop becomes scheduled practice, so the weakest topic is always next and you never open the app wondering what to do.
How Edexcel Biology practice actually works.
Not a video you watch. A question you answer, marked the way an examiner would.

Common questions.
How is Edexcel GCSE Biology marked on Exaim?
You write a real exam-style answer and it is marked against Edexcel's published mark scheme, point by point — the same marking points an examiner uses. You see exactly which points you earned, which you missed, and the wording that would have earned them.
How many topics does Edexcel GCSE Biology cover?
The whole specification: 9 topics, from Key Concepts in Biology to Ecosystems & Material Cycles, broken into 29 subtopics you revise and get tested on. Every one has practice, and the full list is on this page.
Is this built for Edexcel, or a generic biology course?
Built for Edexcel. The questions, the topics and the marking all follow the Edexcel specification — not one generic biology course with a board's name on the front.
