Every biology student in the state of Arkansas must take an end-of-course biology exam which will be given in April.  Students who do NOT score proficient or advanced will have to go through remediation AFTER SCHOOL  in order to keep their biology credit. The following information will help you prepare for that exam.

EOC Biology Testing will be April 26 and 27, 2010!

There are five strands that will be covered this year:

• Nature of science

• Molecules and Cells

• Heredity and Evolution

• Classification and Diversity of Life

• Ecology and Behavioral Relationships

    Each of these strands contains Student Learning Expectations or SLE's that you must learn to do well on the Biology EOC Test.  You will set up a notebook just for your SLE notes, practice questions, flash cards, and practice tests.
