Questions

What you're actually getting

Which syllabus is this built for?

The current IB Biology syllabus: the guide published in 2023 and first examined in May 2025. We follow its latest edition (updated May 2026, used from the May 2028 exams), which clarifies what students need to know and adds the official data booklet. Every lesson is written against the guide's syllabus statements, and questions follow the data booklet's notation and required diagrams. The questions are our own, written in the style of IB papers — they aren't past papers.

Are these real IB past papers?

No. They're original exam-style questions written to the real papers' structure, command terms and mark allocations, each with its own markscheme. Every question is tagged with the syllabus statement it assesses.

What exactly is free?

Two complete lessons — A1.1 Water and B1.1 Carbohydrates and lipids — with their notes, quizzes, skills practice and exam papers. Revision slides are free on every lesson in all four themes. Students can also sit any paper a teacher shares by code.

Do students need an account?

Not to start. You can study the free lessons and sit a teacher's shared paper without signing up. Without an account, progress is saved on your own device; with a free account, it follows you to every device you sign in on.

How do share codes work?

A teacher builds a paper and gets a short code. Any student who pastes that code gets exactly that paper — same questions, same order, same timing — then marks their own work against the markscheme. No accounts, no files to email.

Do I see my students' results?

Not yet. A student who sits your paper marks their own work against the markscheme and sees their score immediately, but that score stays on their device — nothing is sent back to you. Teacher-side class results are the next feature we're building. Today the honest answer is that the share code gives your class the same paper and instant feedback, not a gradebook.

Is SL and HL handled properly?

Yes. Pick a level and the question bank respects it: HL-only material never appears in an SL paper, and HL-only lessons aren't offered at SL.
