Common Questions, Answered

Can't find what you need? Our academic advisors are available across New Zealand time zones.

My child memorises everything but still gets Achieved. Why?+
Because Level 1 Biology rewards explaining relationships and processes, not recalling terms. We work on turning knowledge into the kind of answer the standard asks for.
Do you help with the practical investigation internal?+
Yes - planning the method, controlling variables, and writing up results. It is one of the most reliable places to secure Merit or Excellence credits.
Is Level 1 Biology needed for Level 2?+
Most schools expect Level 1 Biology credits before Level 2, so a weak result here can close the subject off. We treat that as the real stake in Year 11.
