Roughly 6 months before your chosen exam date, you should book your place at an exam centre to take the Edexcel IGCSE Biology syllabus (4BI0) exam.
Exam centres are usually schools or colleges that are also submitting their own students for the exam.
Edexcel publish a list of exam centres that accept private candidates. This won’t cover every available centre, so if there’s nothing shown in your area, we recommend contacting local schools and colleges directly.
Your exam fees aren’t included in the course cost as they’re paid directly to the exam centre. They’ll vary depending on which centre you choose.
If you’d like to pay in full, you can enrol online using the ‘Add to Basket’ button at the top of the page.

If you have any disabilities which you think might affect your studies or assessments, please tell your Course Advisor before you enrol so we can advise you on whether reasonable adjustments can be made to accommodate your needs.
