Common questions
Where can I find Biology past papers from CCEA?
This page links every Biology paper CCEA publishes for everyone to download, newest first, starting with June 2026. Each link opens the PDF on CCEA's own website. The most recent series is usually released a year or so after the exam, and it will appear here once CCEA makes it public.
Are there mark schemes for these Biology papers?
Yes, 43 of the 50 question papers here have a mark scheme.
What were the Biology grade boundaries in June 2026?
In June 2026, an A needed 192 out of 240 uniform marks and an E needed 96 on AS (uniform marks). On A level (uniform marks), an A needed 480 out of 600 uniform marks and an E needed 240. The grade boundaries for every series from June 2017 to June 2026 are on this course's grade boundaries page, and each series of papers here links to its own year's table, so you can mark a paper and read your grade.
Where is the Biology specification?
It is linked at the top of this page: CCEA's own Biology specification, a PDF on its website, which sets out what you can be examined on and how the exams are marked.
How can I practise more Biology questions?
Once you have worked through the papers, cookie has a practice deck for this course with fresh questions based on the specification and past papers, feedback on what you write, and spaced repetition.
Can I get help with Biology?
Cookie Tutoring may have tutors for Biology. The Find a tutor link keeps the subject and qualification filters from this page, so you can check the marketplace without assuming that a suitable tutor is available.
