Common questions
Where can I find Biology B past papers from Pearson Edexcel?
This page links every Biology B paper Pearson Edexcel publishes for everyone to download, newest first, starting with June 2025. Each link opens the PDF on Pearson Edexcel's own website. The most recent series is usually released a year or so after the exam, and it will appear here once Pearson Edexcel makes it public.
Are there mark schemes for these Biology B papers?
Yes, every question paper here has a mark scheme, and 29 have an examiner report as well, which is worth reading for the mistakes that cost the most marks.
What were the Biology B grade boundaries in June 2026?
In June 2026, an A needed 189 out of 300 and an E needed 73. 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 B specification?
It is linked at the top of this page: Pearson Edexcel's own Biology B specification (9BI0), a PDF on its website, which sets out what you can be examined on and how the exams are marked. According to Edexcel's grade boundaries for June 2026, the course is examined in 3 papers, worth 300 marks in all.
How can I practise more Biology B questions?
cookie's practice decks can make fresh exam-style questions from a specification or your own notes, with feedback and spaced repetition, so you can keep practising once the papers run out.
Can I get help with Biology B?
Cookie Tutoring may have tutors for Biology B. 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.
