Free A-level Biology revision resources
A-level Biology steps up the study of life from GCSE, covering everything from genes and genetics to organisms and all the way up to populations and evolution.
As part of our 2026 A-level revision week, our expert Biology teachers, Laura Armstrong and Joe Wolfensohn, are opening up their collection of step-by-step video explanations, detailed revision notes and practice questions - in short, everything you need to walk into your A-level Biology exam feeling full of confidence and ready to show off what you know.
AQA A-level Biology revision materials
The resources are split into eight modules, covering the full UK, AQA A-level Biology curriculum:
-
Biological molecules
-
Cells
-
Exchanges of substances
-
Genetic information and variation
-
Energy transfers
-
Organisms respond
-
Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems
-
Control of gene expression
Each module is then broken down into topics, and sub-topics. For example in the module on the control of gene expression, Laura covers the different types of gene mutations and the mutagenic agents.
After an in-depth review of mutations, including additions, deletions, substitutions, inversions and more, the key terms are explained in detail and students are given two exam tips.
Finally, an A-level practice question asks students to: ‘Name and describe two types of gene mutation’ - complete with a model answer.
While these notes are invaluable, this is just the start.
To give yourself the best possible chance of achieving an A or A* in your A-level Biology exams, we’d recommend you sign up now for our Year 12, or Year 13 A-level Biology course - which will include free access to the dedicated Easter Revision course (more details below).
Alongside high-quality resources like these, on the Year 13 A-level Biology course you’ll enjoy two live 60-minute lessons with Laura Armstrong per week, where you’ll cover everything from oxygen dissociation curves and oxidative phosphorylation to blood glucose regulation and the loop of Henle.
You can see the benefits of signing up in the results our most recent cohort of students achieved last year.
-
Almost three-quarters of our A-level students achieved B or above (73%), nationally it was slightly over half (55%)
-
Almost twice as many of our A-level Biology students achieved A or A* (45%), compared to non-MyEdSpace students (28%)
-
Over half of our A-level students have been admitted into Russell Groups universities (56%) compared to only 27% across the UK
With results like those, it’s a no-brainer to sign up and get started ASAP.
Get ahead this summer with our A-level Biology Summer School
Summer's great. But, in those long, lazy days between July and September, momentum is lost and people can quietly fall behind.
Summer School fixes that without taking over the summer holidays. 6 hours of lessons, spread over 3 weeks - which you can join from anywhere - isn't a big ask, but it comes with big gains. Head into the new year months ahead of schedule and save yourself having to play catch-up later. Find out more and get ahead this summer.
