Biology & Honors Biology  Semester Exam

This exam will be a comprehensive exam.  All the topics we learned about during the second semester will be fair game.  You are expected to know the information covered in the notes, labs, worksheets, and reviews.  Try to concentrate on learning the main points that were stressed when we covered each of those topics and review each of the pictures found in these units.  There will be at least 100 multiple choice questions, so it is important that you know the information so you can get the exam done.  Be sure to bring a #2 pencil with an eraser to take the scantron exam and something to work on quietly after the exam.  The exam period lasts 1½ hours and you are not allowed to leave the room during the exam for any reason.  Bottled water may be drunk during the exam, but no passes will be issued.
