IB Biology HL
Practice Exams

Revision Village offers three types of IB Biology HL Practice Exams: Popular Quizzes, the Revision Ladder, and Mock Exam Papers. Each serves a different purpose, depending on a student’s revision goals and stage of exam preparation. The Biology HL Popular Quizzes are designed for students who want to test themselves on a specific concept (e.g. Proteins). The Biology HL Revision Ladder covers all Biology HL subtopics, with questions increasing in difficulty from easiest to hardest. The Biology HL Mock Exam Papers are designed to replicate actual IB Biology Standard Level exam papers in terms of length, difficulty, and topic distribution. Additionally, each April and October, Revision Village releases a Prediction Exam—a set of newly written questions designed as a final trial paper before students sit their official IB Biology HL examination papers.

Popular Quizzes are one of the three types of IB Biology HL Practice Exams offered by Revision Village. These short quizzes focus on specific concepts within the Biology HL course (e.g. Homeostasis) and typically last between 30 and 90 minutes—ideal for a single study session. While similar to the Questionbank in targeting individual topics, the Biology HL Popular Quizzes provide an option for students who may not have time to work through all the questions in the Questionbank. This makes the Biology HL Popular Quizzes a valuable tool for focused revision.

Revision Village introduced the Biology Higher Level Revision Ladder to enhance the exam revision process and make the questions more accessible to students who are finding specific topics more challenging. The Biology HL Revision Ladder consists of 10 levels, each increasing in difficulty. The questions across all levels cover the full range of concepts in the IB Biology HL course, making it an excellent starting point for end-of-course revision. Instead of jumping straight into Mock Exams or Past Papers (which can be daunting at the start), students can begin with the Biology HL Revision Ladder, gradually building their confidence as they progress through each level.

The Biology HL Mock Exam Papers are designed to closely simulate the actual exams students will face at the end of their IB Biology Higher Level course. The Mock Exams are Bio HL Practice Exams that are intended for use once students have completed all the topics in the Biology HL course. It is recommended that students attempt the Biology HL Mock Exam Papers under timed, exam conditions to build familiarity and confidence with the difficulty and duration of the IB Biology HL exams.
