Mock Exam - Edexcel IGCSE Biology Paper 1B

(4)
A useful resource for students to practice their knowledge and examination technique for future external assessments. This is for the following paper: 4BI1 - 1B These questions are completely original and have been designed from scratch. There has been no reuse of previous exam questions. Our mock paper follows the format of the true Edexcel IGCSE Biology 1B paper closely, with the CORMS and graph question included. It is also the exact duration and mark-count, with questions of increasing difficulty. A mark scheme is also attached. The paper covers the following specification points: • Topic 2d Movement of substances into and out of cells (including practical 2.17 (2.15 – 2.17) • Topic 2g Gas exchange (including practical 2.50) (2.46 – 2.50) • Topic 2h Transport (2.51 – 2.54, 2.59 – 2.62, 2.65 – 2.69) • Topic 2j Co-ordination and response (2.80 – 2.94) • Topic 3a Reproduction (3.1 – 3.9, 3.11 – 3.13) • Topic 3b Inheritance (3.14 – 3.15, 3.19 – 3.20, 3.22 – 3.34, 3.38 – 3.39) • Topic 5b Selective breeding (5.10 – 5.11) Disclaimer: This document was created by department heads with many years of experience teaching the Pearson Edexcel IGCSE Biology course. We cannot however guarantee that it is an accurate representation of upcoming examinations and students should not treat it as such. Please use this as an aid, alongside other methods of revision.
