Summary
One topic has dropped to just one mark for two years in a row. Another was completely missing last year. Both of those patterns matter, and in this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what they mean for your revision priorities. This is my annual AQA A Level Biology past paper analysis for 2026, focused on Paper 1 and Paper 2. I go through every specification point, track how frequently topics appear, when they were last assessed, and how the mark weighting has shifted over time. Not to predict the exam, but to help you teach more strategically without adding to your workload. ⏱️ WHAT WE COVER: - Paper 1 priorities - Paper 2 priorities - Maths skills that are embedded across both papers - Practical skills most likely to come up - How to use this analysis practically without rewriting your schemes of work 📌 This episode is for A-Level Biology teachers who want a data-driven approach to revision planning, not guesswork. 🔔 Follow the podcast for more strategies to streamline your workload and improve student outcomes.
