AS Level vs A2 Level: Understanding the Pathway
Two-year progression from foundation to advanced Biology
AS Level (Year 1)
Standalone qualification or contributes 40% to A-Level
- Biological molecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids)
- Cells (structure, membranes, division, transport)
- Exchange surfaces & breathing
- Transport in animals & plants
- Disease & immunity basics
A2 Level (Year 2)
Completes full A-Level (combines with AS for final grade)
- Energy transfers (photosynthesis & respiration)
- Response to stimuli (nervous & hormonal)
- Genetics, populations & evolution
- Control of gene expression
- Recombinant DNA technology

Understanding Grade Boundaries
Know exactly what you need for A*/A grades in each exam board
Cambridge (9700)
Focus on Paper 4 (A2 Structured) - highest weighting at 38%
Edexcel (IAL)
Unit 5 (Energy & Control) typically has lowest grade boundaries
AQA (7401)
Paper 3 synoptic - practice linking topics across entire syllabus
OCR A (H420)
Module 6 (Genetics & Ecosystems) most challenging - allocate extra time
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about A-Level Biology
Do you teach all A-Level exam boards?
Yes! We provide specialized coaching for Cambridge International (9700), Edexcel IAL (XBI11/YBI11), AQA (7401/7402), and OCR A & B specifications. Our faculty are trained in the specific requirements and mark schemes of each board.
What is the difference between AS and A2 Level Biology?
AS Level (Year 1) covers foundation topics like biological molecules, cells, and basic transport systems. A2 Level (Year 2) covers advanced topics including gene expression, evolution, and complex control systems. AS contributes 40% to final A-Level grade, A2 contributes 60%.
How do you prepare students for required practicals?
We provide comprehensive coverage of all 12 required practicals (PAGs) through virtual lab simulations, practical technique videos, and detailed method analysis. Students get practice in experimental design, data analysis, and evaluation skills needed for the practical endorsement.
What is your A-Level Biology success rate?
Our students achieve 92% A*/A rate in A-Level Biology across all exam boards. Average score is 87%. We have helped 400+ students achieve top grades and secure places at leading universities including Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, and UCL.
Do you offer help with university applications for Medicine and Biosciences?
Yes! Beyond A-Level preparation, we provide guidance for BMAT, UCAT, Biology Olympiads, and university interviews. Our faculty includes medical professionals who can help with personal statements and interview preparation for competitive Medicine and Biosciences programs.
How much time should I dedicate to A-Level Biology preparation?
For AS Level, we recommend 4-5 hours per week of focused study including classes. For A2 Level, increase to 6-7 hours per week. This includes attending live classes, completing assignments, practicing past papers, and reviewing content. Consistent effort is key to achieving A*/A grades.
