What is inside the Edexcel IAL A2 Biology course
Everything a student needs for Units 4, 5 and 6, in the order the specification teaches it: recorded lessons for every topic, the notes eBook written in mark-scheme language, every WBI14, WBI15 and WBI16 paper since 2019 solved for the marks, topic quizzes, flashcards and direct WhatsApp support from me until exam day.

How each topic is taught
Every specification point follows the same loop. Watch the lesson — the whole point, not the easy half. Read the notes page, where every key term is in the exact phrase the mark scheme rewards. Sit the topic quiz to check recall. Solve the real past-paper questions on that topic, classified from every WBI14–WBI16 paper since 2019. Mark yourself against the model answer, line by line, the way an examiner would. Then send me the question you could not get on WhatsApp.
The lessons are recorded, so you start the day you enrol and work in any time zone. Access lasts two years from purchase, which covers a resit in the following series at no extra cost.
What you get for each unit
Unit 4: lessons on photosynthesis, energy flow, ecology, climate change, evolution, microbiology, immunity and forensics; the Unit 4 notes; every WBI14 paper 2019–2026 solved; quizzes and flashcards for Topics 5 and 6.
Unit 5: lessons on respiration, muscles, the heart and breathing, the kidney, the nervous system, the eye, plant coordination, the brain and gene technology; the Unit 5 notes; every WBI15 paper solved, including the pre-released article questions with model answers; a walkthrough of each new article before the sitting.
Unit 6: the eighteen core practicals written as methods — variables, controls, measurement, calculation, sources of error — with every WBI16 paper solved and the planning, implementation and analysis skills taught as a system rather than a memory.
Who this course is for
Students in a school that finished the A2 content too fast, or not at all. Private candidates who need a teacher, not just PDFs. Students retaking a unit who knew the biology but did not score — the most common reason is answers written in their own words instead of the mark scheme's, and that is exactly what the solved papers fix. Students targeting an A*, which is decided by the 90% rule across these three units.
FAQ
Is the A2 course live or recorded?
Recorded. Access arrives by email within minutes of payment. Live weekly Zoom classes are a separate option on the Live IAL Biology Classes page.
Does the course include Unit 6?
Yes. Every core practical is taught as a method, with every WBI16 paper solved and the three assessed skill sets covered.
Does it cover the pre-released article?
Yes. Every past article question is solved, and a walkthrough of each new article is added before the sitting.
How long is access?
Two years from purchase, so a resit in the next series costs nothing extra.
