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.
Official source baseline
The final 2026/2027 content decree is still pending. Until it is published, this page uses the latest completed official sources: the MUR 2025/2026 decree, Biology syllabus and the 2025 English paper. MUR has published a 2026/2027 test notice, but says the detailed content will follow in a later decree.
