Scoring a 7 in IB Biology is demanding and requires consistent performance in both external and internal assessments. Approximately 6% of HL and 8% of SL students achieve a 7. A disciplined study plan and targeted tutoring significantly improve the chance of success.

Standard Level (SL):

Paper 1 (1 hour): Multiple choice questions (30 marks).

Paper 2 (1 hour 45 minutes): Short-answer and extended-response questions on the core syllabus (50 marks).

Paper 3 (1 hour): Data-based and experimental questions (35 marks).

Higher Level (HL):

IB Biology is considered one of the more challenging Group 4 sciences due to its broad content and depth, especially at HL. It requires strong memorization, application, and analytical skills, making it rigorous but rewarding for students interested in life sciences.

Tutoring begins with identifying key areas of weakness. Lessons are tailored to reinforce understanding, practice data handling, and prepare for paper-based assessments. IA support includes topic selection, experiment design, and writing guidance. Regular reviews ensure exam readiness and scientific fluency.

The IB Biology course covers the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution of living organisms.

The syllabus includes:

Molecules of Life: Biochemistry, enzymes, water, and metabolism.

Cells: Cell structure, membrane transport, and division.

Genetics: DNA, inheritance, and biotechnology.

Ecology: Ecosystems, energy flow, and population dynamics.

Evolution and Biodiversity: Natural selection, classification, and speciation.

Human Physiology: Digestion, circulation, immunity, homeostasis, and reproduction.

HL students study additional depth including nucleic acids, metabolism, plant biology, and neurobiology.

Tutors help simplify complex biological processes, guide through syllabus concepts, and assist in improving scientific writing. They provide structured revision, practice with data analysis, and support for the IA project. With expert tutoring, students gain confidence and skills essential for academic and career success in science and health-related fields.
