Are there past papers to practise on?

You can get past papers and examiners' reports for the current course from Edexcel. See SNAB at Edexcel

Sample examination papers for the new 2008 specification are available from the Edexcel site. See Edexcel biology specification for 2008

For students who will be starting in 2008 is also worth adapting past paper questions from both the SNAB and the traditional Edexcel biology course, as long as you check the content is in the new 2008 specification. The past SNAB papers, in particular will have some coverage of the How Science Works content, but there is also new material in the 2008 specification.

The past SNAB practical review papers will give an idea of assessment of practical skills through written exam questions.
