A-Level Biology questions, generated and marked
cookie generates A-Level Biology questions from material you choose and marks the explanation you write point by point, which is how a Biology mark scheme awards its marks. The long answers and the data questions are what it is most useful for, since both are judged on what you said rather than on a single correct value, and spaced repetition brings a topic back before the terminology goes.
Decks in the library for this
There are 7 public decks for this, built from published exam-board material. Import one and you get a private copy to practise from and change.
Marked on the points you made
A Biology answer worth six marks is a list of linked points, and the difference between four and six is usually one connective and one piece of specific detail. cookie tells you which points it credited and which it did not see, which is the feedback a printed answer cannot give.
Terminology matters here more than in most subjects, and the marking is strict about it in the same way an examiner is.
Data and statistics questions
Questions that hand you a table or a graph and ask what it shows generate well and mark well, because the reasoning is the answer. Your own lab notes and class data make good source material for them.
Common questions
Does it ask synoptic questions?
It can, where the deck holds material from more than one topic, which is one reason to keep a whole-course deck alongside your topic ones.
Is the marking strict about wording?
About as strict as the scheme it generates, which for Biology means specific terms are expected. You can challenge any mark you think is wrong.
