View topicsYear 11 completes WJEC GCSE Biology in Wales and takes students into the examinations. Remaining content covers homeostasis and the kidney, the nervous and hormonal systems, disease and immunity, genetics and inheritance, evolution and ecology.
Marks at this stage are decided by extended-response questions and by handling data students have never seen before. Both are highly coachable, and both matter more than covering additional content.
