Start from the food web.
Plumi drew the web above for a GCSE question on communities. You write your answer straight beneath it.

Points get ticked where you made them.
On a short answer, each scheme point you made is ticked on the line you wrote it. Where your board marks a 6‑marker in levels, it gets one level for the whole answer.

Inheritance needs more than one good answer.
After one, its square on your topic map still says Too early to tell. Keep getting them right and it turns green.
Your topic map follows your board’s units.
GCSE and A-Level Biology, for AQA, OCR and Edexcel. Each topic in a unit gets its own square.

Biology questions
Which Biology specifications does Plumi follow?
GCSE and A‑Level Biology for AQA, OCR and Edexcel. The units for each are listed on this page, and the topics in your board’s units become the squares on your topic map.
Are these real Biology past paper questions?
No. Plumi writes its own in your board’s style, and the mark scheme for each. For the real thing, the Papers tab links to the boards’ A‑Level past papers, mark schemes and grade boundaries. Plumi isn’t affiliated with any exam board.
Are the required practicals covered?
On most boards, yes. Where your board’s practicals are on your Biology topic map, Plumi sets and marks practical questions like any other.
Can I practise the AQA A‑Level Biology essay?
Yes. On AQA A‑Level Biology, Plumi sets a 25‑mark essay with two titles of its own and marks it in the board’s five bands. It also counts the areas of the spec your essay draws on.
