With over 15 years' experience in science education, my focus is on creating high-quality, visually engaging resources that support both teaching and learning. Research consistently shows that well-organised, clearly presented materials can significantly improve student outcomes by reducing cognitive load and enhancing retention. I aim to provide resources which are not only effective, but ready to use.

Download includes questions and answers on topics 1-10.
Triple and Higher Tier only content is marked, so these questions are suitable for all candidates.
Please note that I can accept no responsibility for your final exam grade should you choose to use these revision resources. These resources are intended to help students actively revise, but students should be aware that a high proportion of the marks in your exams are AO2 and AO3 marks and students should therefore use a variety of resources and techniques in preparation for all of the question styles that will be encountered in the exam. Whilst these resources have been written with past mark schemes in mind, there is no guarantee that future mark schemes will be the same.

OCR A A-level Biology Spaced Repetition Timetable for Year 13 2025-2026
The timetable has 5 repetitions of each topic scheduled (efforts have been made to group together topics that are often linked in synoptic questions at least once).
A blank version of the timetable is also included (with only topics and dates completed) in case students wish to plan their own timings for repetitions.
I’ve been using the ‘past paper’ method for years with my students.
Students complete a past paper, mark and analyse their results using MARCKS and then write SMART targets to plan targeted revision sessions. If they don’t comfortably acheive their target grade in the first attempt, they are encouraged to repeat the past paper 2-3 days later (after having completed targeted revision).
I’ve found that giving students access to this editable spreadsheet has massively increased motivation to actually use the method properly and stick with it.
Students can select from drop down boxes to input their current grade for Biology, Chemistry & Physics. Then they input their target grade. Everytime they complete a past paper, they can input their mark, percentage & grade. The spreadsheet has space for 3 attempts at each paper. Finally at the end of each row, students can select whether they have achieved their target grade for that past paper or not.
This is designed for students studying separate sciences, a spreadsheet for trilogy students will be made available ASAP.
If you need to clear the text from a cell with a drop down box - DO NOT DELETE IT as this will delete the formatting for the cell. Just select ‘none’ from the drop down box.
Available as .numbers or .xlsx download.
This spreadsheet does NOT seem to work on iPads I’m afraid, but I have tested it on an iMac, macbook & a laptop running excel and the formatting appears to work properly.
