Why a practice quiz works for Leaving Cert biology

Biology in the Leaving Cert rewards precise recall: the stages of the Krebs cycle, the difference between mitosis and meiosis, and the steps of DNA replication. A biology quiz made from your own notes tests exactly that, because the questions come from the material your teacher covered.

Multiple choice, true/false and open questions with explanations
Questions drawn only from the notes or slides you upload
Save your quiz as a PDF or DOCX on Plus
Create a Moodle XML or QTI 2.1 file on Pro

Example Leaving Cert biology quiz questions

In which part of the chloroplast do the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place?The thylakoid membranes. Light energy splits water here and produces ATP and NADPH for the Calvin cycle.

What is the net yield of ATP from glycolysis per glucose molecule?2 ATP. Glycolysis uses 2 ATP in its early steps and produces 4, so the net gain is 2.

True or false: mitosis produces four genetically different daughter cells.False. Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells, while meiosis produces four genetically different cells.

In a monohybrid cross of two heterozygous parents (Aa x Aa), what phenotypic ratio do you expect among the offspring?3:1 dominant to recessive. Three of the four possible genotype combinations include at least one dominant allele.

What role does DNA polymerase play in DNA replication?It adds nucleotides to the growing new strand, reading the template strand and building in the 5' to 3' direction.

How it works

Upload

Add your biology notes, slides or a PDF from class.

Choose

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions.

Practice

Answer, read the explanations, and go back over the ones you got wrong.

Retrieval practice, which means answering a question before you look at the answer, is one of the most reliable ways to remember facts. Mixing multiple choice with true/false and short-answer questions also shows whether you can explain a process or only recognise its name.

Read each explanation after you answer, including the ones you got right. A correct guess tells you less than a clear reason does.

Frequently asked questions

Which biology topics should I test myself on most often?

Topics with many linked steps, such as photosynthesis, cellular respiration and DNA replication, are easy to forget and worth testing repeatedly. Check past paper marking schemes to see which topics come up often.

How often should I do a practice quiz before the exam?

Short quizzes spread across several weeks usually work better than one long session the night before. Retake any question you got wrong until you can explain the answer without looking.

Can I export my biology quiz to PDF or Moodle?

PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro. The Free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the Free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
