Oxford AQA IGCSE Biology, marked to the mark scheme.

Practise every topic on the Oxford AQA 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 Oxford AQA, not adapted to it.

Oxford AQA IGCSE Biology spans 10 topics, from Cell Biology to Ecology, and Exaim covers all 30 subtopics — with practice written for the Oxford AQA 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 Oxford AQA'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 Oxford AQA 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 Oxford AQA Biology practice actually works.

Not a video you watch. A question you answer, marked the way an examiner would.

  2. 02

    It is marked point by point

    Checked against your board’s published mark scheme, one mark point at a time — with the wording that would have earned the ones you missed.

  3. 03

    Your plan moves

    Every mark you drop becomes scheduled practice. The weakest topic is next, so you never open it wondering what to do.

Studying a different board?

Biology is covered for every board we support at IGCSE. The specifications differ, so the practice does too.

Common questions.

How is Oxford AQA IGCSE Biology marked on Exaim?

You write a real exam-style answer and it is marked against Oxford AQA'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 Oxford AQA IGCSE Biology cover?

The whole specification: 10 topics, from Cell Biology to Ecology, broken into 30 subtopics you revise and get tested on. Every one has practice, and the full list is on this page.

Is this built for Oxford AQA, or a generic biology course?

Built for Oxford AQA. The questions, the topics and the marking all follow the Oxford AQA specification — not one generic biology course with a board's name on the front.

Can I try Oxford AQA IGCSE Biology for free?

Yes — start free with no card. You can practise Biology questions and see exactly how the marking works before you decide anything.

I sit a different board — is Biology covered for others?

Yes. IGCSE Biology is covered for Cambridge and Edexcel too, each built for that board's own specification. The links are further up this page.
