S2 E32 | I Analysed Every AQA Biology Paper. Here's What Teachers Should Focus on in 2026

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.

improve student outcomes.
