About WJEC A-Level Biology

WJEC is the principal exam board in Wales and also offers qualifications in England under the Eduqas brand. Their specifications are known for accessible language and clear assessment objectives.

A-Level Biology takes you far beyond GCSE, exploring life at the molecular, cellular, and ecological level in much greater depth. You will study topics such as DNA replication and protein synthesis, cellular respiration and photosynthesis, genetics and evolution, neuroscience, and ecosystem dynamics. The amount of content to learn is substantial, and understanding the underlying mechanisms — not just memorising facts — is essential.

Study Tips for WJEC Biology

1

Create annotated diagrams for every biological process — examiners award marks for labelled detail, and drawing pathways like the Krebs cycle or the light-dependent reactions from memory is one of the most effective revision techniques.

2

Learn the precise definitions of key terms (e.g. osmosis, gene, species) exactly as your specification states them. Biology exams frequently test whether you can recall and apply specific definitions accurately.

3

Practise applying statistical tests (chi-squared, Spearman rank, Student t-test) to biological data. Know when each test is appropriate, how to calculate the test statistic, and how to interpret the result using a critical values table.

4

Use past paper mark schemes to learn what examiners expect in six-mark extended response questions. These require a logical structure, correct use of scientific terminology, and a clear conclusion linked to the evidence.
