Book Description

ISBN-10: 0375755640 | ISBN-13: 978-0375755644 | Publication Date: February 20, 2001 | Edition: 1st

The Princeton Review realizes that acing the Biology exam is very different from getting straight As in school. They don't try to teach students everything there is to know about biology--only the techniques they'll need to score higher on the exam. There's a big difference. In Cracking the Virginia SOL EOC Biology, TPR will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and:

Learn tips and techniques for solving problems when test takers are unsure of the answer

Improve scores by focusing on the material most likely to appear on the test

Test knowledge with review questions for each biology concept covered

Master all the material readers will need to know to score higher: the cell, reproduction, genetics, photosynthesis, evolution, ecology, and more

***This book includes 2 full-length simulated end-of-course Biology exams. All of TPR's sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual exam, and TPR fully explains every solution.

Contents Include:

I Introduction
The Mystery Exams
Structure and Strategies
II The Subject Review
Scientific Investigations
Life at the Molecular Level
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
The Cell
Life at the Systems and Organisms Level
Humans
Cell Reproduction and Genetics
Taxonomy and Ecology
III The Princeton Review Practice Tests
