Standardized Test Practice
The assessments are aligned to the current high school biology science standards of California. However, when the new common core science standards are released, the assessments will be aligned to the common core science standards. Topics include:
- Scientific Method - theory / hypothesis, models, scientific process, experimental error, graphing, equipment. Example
- Biochemistry - macromolecules, enzymes, energy, water. Example
- Cells - organelles, processes, plasma membrane, metabolism, reproduction. Example
- DNA - genetics, DNA structure, DNA replication. Example
- Protein Synthesis - central dogma, gene expression. Example
- Evolution - natural selection, evolution of populations, evidence. Example
- Ecology - environmental science, populations, cycles, energy transfer, communities, ecosystems. Example
High School Biology Assessments
All assessments are written at the level of a high school biology class. There are many types of rigorous questions that require students to apply their knowledge. The question types include multiple-choice questions, multiple-answer questions, vocab/matching questions, drag and drop questions, image based questions, and more. The computer grades all questions so students and teachers can see immediate results. Teachers can choose to use these tests and quizzes as their assessment tool, as homework, or as a supplement to their current curriculum.

Online Homework
Most students have access to a computer and the Internet at home. The simple task of taking these tests as homework, imparts knowledge. At the end of each quiz the student knows immediately which questions they missed and are given hints to each question, making the quiz a learning tool. Students are also told what concepts they know and what areas need improvement. Retaking the quiz does not repeat the same questions. By the time they pass the quiz with high grades, means they probably have learned the subject matter. Some students at home may take the test with an open book or notes. However, looking up the answers over and over again as homework, also imparts knowledge.
