Tell us what you needHow the AQA papers work
AQA GCSE Biology (8461). Two papers at Foundation or Higher tier, each 1 hour 45 minutes and half the GCSE.
Foundation (grades 1 to 5) and Higher (grades 4 to 9) papers have the same structure.
| Paper | What's in it | Time | Marks | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 | Topics 1–4: cell biology; organisation; infection and response; bioenergetics | 1 hour 45 minutes | 100 | 50% |
| Paper 2 | Topics 5–7: homeostasis and response; inheritance, variation and evolution; ecology | 1 hour 45 minutes | 100 | 50% |
What to know about AQA
- Questions mix multiple choice, structured, short-answer and open response.
- Questions draw on the required practicals and are worth at least 15% of the marks.
- Each paper covers its own half of the course.
- At Higher tier, a student just below grade 4 can be awarded an allowed grade 3.

AQA GCSE Biology: common questions
Does it matter that it's AQA?
Yes, for practice: each board splits the topics between the papers in its own way, so revise with AQA's topic order and past papers. Every tutor on this page lists AQA for GCSE Biology.
Should my child sit Foundation or Higher?
Foundation covers grades 1 to 5 and Higher grades 4 to 9. Higher suits students aiming above a 5; Foundation suits a secure 4 or 5. A tutor can usually recommend a tier after a lesson or two.
Where can I find AQA past papers?
AQA publishes past papers and mark schemes on its own website: https://www.aqa.org.uk/find-past-papers-and-mark-schemes
How much does a GCSE Biology tutor cost?
Each tutor sets a flat price per hour-long lesson, from £40. You pay per lesson when you book, with no membership or agency fee.
