Congratulations to the following members of the 2013 Bio II Science League Team:

Bio II Team:

Jessica Yang        If any of the team members know they will be absent for one of the tests, you will need to

Oriana Tang        call Kishan first and then Evan to see if they can take the test in your place. 

Justing Jang        Dates for the tests are listed below.

Grant Wu

 Alternates: 

Kishan Patel

Evan Zou

 
 
The following posts will be for the practice tests for each month.  If you are one of the 4 team members, and you cannot make the test date, it will be your responsibility to find an alternate to take your place.  If you are an alternate and wish to take the test for grins and giggles, just e-mail Mrs. Spadafina and she will make sure you have a test copy.  Otherwise, she will only make 4 copies of the test.

Testing Dates for 2013

Thursday January 10, 2013, Thursday Feb 14, 2013;

Wednesday March 13, 2013;  Thursday, April 18, 2013

 
 BIOLOGY 11 For all second year and AP level students. Biology II has been reorganized to follow the AP Biology Curriculum Framework 2012-2013. Each of the BIG IDEAS is supported by several ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS, which are supported by ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE, which is itself supported by UNDERLYING CONTENT. Please see detailed outline in the AP Biology Curriculum Framework 2012-2013 for specific content that falls under each Big Idea. The link is http://media.collegeboard.com/digitalServices/pdf/ap/10b_2727_AP_Biology_CF_WEB_110128.pdf. Each test will consist of 80 multiple choice questions per exam.
 

JANUARY TEST(Big Idea 1): The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life.  Refer to pages 4-15 in the curriculum framework for details.

FEBRUARY TEST(Big Idea 2): Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. (pgs 15-37)
 
MARCH TEST(Big Idea 3): Living systems store, retrieve, transmit and respond to information essential to life processes.( pgs 37-64)
 

APRIL TEST(Big Idea 4): Biological systems interact, and these systems and their interactions possess complex properties. (pgs 64-80) 


PAST TESTS: use the following tests to help you study but pay attention to the topics and study those tests that refer to the ideas above.  For example, evolution questions can be found in all of the following tests!
 

January Test Topics and past tests:

Evolution, general chemistry, water, chemistry of carbon molecules, structure and function of macromolecules, eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell structure and function including membrane transport, ATP synthesis, photosynthesis and cell respiration, enzymatic regulation of biochemical reactions.

2008   2009   2010   2011   2012  2013*
 
 * answer to q#22 is A
 
February Test Topics and past tests:
