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 and possible re-testing in order to keep their biology credit.  The following information will help you prepare for that exam.

EOC Biology Testing will be April 28 and 29, 2009!

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.

TEST-TAKING TIPS

Before the test:

• Get plenty of sleep the night before the test

• Eat a good breakfast each morning before testing

• Relax and free your mind of any distractions before testing 

During testing:

• Listen carefully to instructions and follow them

• Make sure you understand the question before writing your answer

• Eliminate choices that aren't correct before deciding which would be the right answer

• Write and mark your answers clearly

• Go back over all your questions (There is plenty of time!)
