Syllabus to practice
Biology: what to study and practise
Use this checklist to choose a topic, then practise it on the platform. Check the official syllabus for your exam year when it is published.
| Topic | What to practise |
|---|---|
| Cells and biomolecules | Compare organelles, membrane transport and the roles of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. |
| Genetics and DNA | Follow inheritance patterns, gene expression and the steps from DNA to protein. |
| Cell division and reproduction | Distinguish mitosis from meiosis and track changes in chromosome number. |
| Human physiology | Connect the function of each organ system with homeostasis and feedback. |
| Bioenergetics and evolution | Compare respiration and photosynthesis, then apply natural selection to a described situation. |

Practise IMAT Biology questions.
See what you know, fix what you miss.
Use topic practice and explanations to get more comfortable with the Biology part of the exam before you move into full IMAT simulations.
🔬How to study Biology
Use the same three-step cycle for every topic. Once the main topics feel familiar, move to mixed sets and full simulations.
Study routine
- Learn: understand the main idea, process and terms.
- Practise: answer topic questions while the material is fresh.
- Review: explain every mistake and repeat weak topics.

🎯Weekly Biology plan
Work through the syllabus in small blocks. Keep one short list of mistakes to revisit each week.
What to do each week
- Learn: study two or three related topics.
- Practise: answer questions on those topics.
- Review: correct mistakes and finish with a mixed set.
