The real problem

You can memorise Biology. That is not the
problem.

The problem is knowing what the question is actually asking, how much detail earns the marks, and when to apply what you know. Five questions keep coming back, and content alone never closes them.

Focused video lessons

Each lesson covers one idea in about fifteen minutes. Watch it, pause if you need to, replay any part, and come back to it whenever you want.

PLATE II · CHECK
Skill check · attempt first
Skill Check inside Alt Academy

Skill Checks

Right after the lesson, you answer quick questions: can you label this diagram? Can you explain why water moves by osmosis? If something has not clicked yet, you know exactly what to revisit before moving on.

PLATE III · STRENGTHEN
Revision notes
Revision notes inside Alt Academy

Notes, flashcards & guides

The same definitions, processes, diagrams and key biological terms return in forms designed for active recall, so you remember the content and learn to use the precise language the exam expects.

PLATE IV · APPLY
Worksheet · model answers
Worksheet with model answers inside Alt Academy

Worksheets & topical papers

Exam-style questions tied to the chapter you just finished, including structured questions, diagrams, graphs and data. Not a random past paper, a targeted one that shows whether you can actually use what you learned.

PLATE V · TEST
Chapter test · timed
Chapter test inside Alt Academy

Chapter tests

One chapter, closed book, you time it. Can you explain enzyme action without the lesson open? The test finds out what is secure and what still needs work.

PLATE VI · PAST PAPER

Worked past paper inside Alt Academy

Yearly papers, worked

Full CAIE papers bring cells, physiology, ecology and genetics together. Worked solutions show how to structure answers, which biological terms matter, and exactly what evidence the examiner rewards.

The skill checks are actually so useful because I realise what I didn't understand before moving on.Ayesha · O Level Biology

Learn it. Try it. Find out where you went wrong.

Lessons are followed by questions, worked solutions and corrections, so you are not just watching Biology — you are learning how to answer it.

Student feedback

Loved by students, trusted by parents.

Here's what Alt Academy Biology students are saying.

Bi · O Level Biology

The notes are probably my favourite part. Everything I need is already there and it's actually easy to revise from. I'm not spending hours making pretty notes instead of studying anymore.

Bi · O Level Biology

I really like the skill checks after the lessons. You think you understood everything and then one question exposes you. But it actually helps so much before doing past papers.

Bi · O Level Biology

The way the videos, notes and questions all connect makes studying so much easier. I don't finish a lesson and then sit there wondering what to do next.

Students & parents

The same Biology course, read from
two chairs.

Your Biology course. Your pace.
No guesswork.

I memorised the diagrams but lost the marks anyway.
That's why there's a Skill Check after every video lesson. You test yourself right away so you know which topics you're actually getting wrong.
I keep avoiding the chapters I find hard.
The way the course is structured, even the difficult stuff is broken down and repeated enough times that it stops feeling difficult. Every chapter shows up in order — you can't accidentally skip one.
I don't know what to study next.
You don't have to figure that out. The next step is already there, waiting for you.
I get things wrong but don't understand why.
That's why we have Academic Support where you can ask questions, AI tutors for immediate answers, and live sessions if you need more help.
Can I actually finish before the exam?
Yes. The course is built that way. 90 study units, 90 minutes each. Follow the route and you'll reach past papers before your sitting.

The questions parents
actually ask us.

Will my child finish the syllabus in time?
The course covers the full CAIE 5090 syllabus in 90 structured units. It's designed to finish before the exam sitting.
Is it just videos?
No. Every lesson is followed by Skill Checks, worksheets, chapter tests and past papers. Practice is built into every chapter.
What if my child gets stuck?
They can post questions in Academic Support and get detailed answers, usually within a few hours. There are also AI tutors for instant help.
How much does it cost?
Starts at PKR 5,200/month for Biology. Or pay once with an Exam Pass. No hidden fees.
Can I see the course before paying?
Yes. The course player on this page is free to try. You can see the full chapter list and how lessons work.

Is live teaching included?
No. Live classes are a separate add-on you can choose if you want them.
Before you decide

Five questions you should ask before choosing any Biology course.

01

"Is this just video lessons?"

No. Every Biology lesson is followed by a Skill Check, then notes, then a worksheet, then a chapter test. The video is step one of six.

02

"Can my child study O Level Biology alone with this?"

Yes. The course is built for self-study. The route tells the student what to do next: watch this, answer this, check this, move on.

03

"Does this cover the exact CAIE 5090 syllabus?"

Yes. Every chapter (cells, human physiology, plant biology, ecology, genetics) is mapped to the 5090 syllabus, not a generic Biology outline.

04

"Can online lessons replace practical work?"

No. We teach how practical questions are tested on the paper: how to analyse data, draw conclusions, describe procedures. But online teaching does not replace required hands-on practical experience.

05

"What if my child needs to ask a question?"

Add live Biology classes. Small batch sessions with Q&A time, handouts, and recorded replays. It is an optional add-on to any recorded plan.

I love that the videos are straight to the point. Biology feels way less exhausting now.Hania · O Level Biology

COURSE DESIGN + TEACHING
Dr. Rehmat Noor — Alt Academy Biology Instructor
Dr. Rehmat Noor · Biology

Dr. Rehmat teaches Biology the way the paper tests it.

With a strong clinical background and an MBBS from Ziauddin University, Dr. Rehmat brings real-world insight into every lesson. Her medical training and deep subject knowledge help students understand Biology with confidence and the precision the examiner expects.

The standard

Understanding the Biology is not enough. You need to answer with the precision and detail the examiner is looking for.

01Cells & Organisation

Cell structure, enzymes, biological molecules, and transport — applied to the O Level paper.

02Human Physiology

Nutrition, respiration, coordination, reproduction — with exam-style precision.

03Ecology & Genetics

Ecosystems, inheritance, variation, and natural selection — following the relationships tested at O Level.

Biology questions, answered

The things you probably want to know.

See plans & pricing ↗
01
Can I study O Level Biology on my own with this course?

Yes. The recorded course is designed for self-study. Watch the lesson, practise it, check your mistakes and move through the syllabus at your own pace.

02
Is it just video lessons?

No. You also get Skill Checks, worksheets, notes, revision resources, past-paper practice and worked corrections.

03
What's the difference between Monthly and Exam Pass?

Monthly is paid every month for as long as you need it. Exam Pass is one payment that gives you access until your chosen exam sitting.

04
When should I choose All Access?

If you're taking more than one O Level subject on Alt, All Access usually makes more sense. One plan gives you access to every included O Level course.

05
Is O Level Biology separate from A Level Biology?

Yes. This course is specifically for CAIE O Level Biology 5090. A Level Biology is a separate course with its own syllabus and route.

06
Can this replace practical work?

No. We can teach you how practical questions work, how to analyse results and how to prepare for the paper — but online learning does not replace required hands-on practical experience.

07
Can I add live Biology classes?

Yes. Live Biology is an optional add-on to any recorded plan.

Choose your recorded plan first — Biology only or All Access — then add:

Live O Level Biology PKR 7,600 / month
