GRADE 11 UNIVERSITY BIOLOGY - FINAL EXAM REVIEW
The final exam will be worth 30% of your final mark. There will be multiple choice (40%), true/false (15%), matching (15%),
short answer (20%) questions, as well as diagrams to label (10%). Definitions of terms will be in matching or multiple
choice questions, not in short answer questions.
*You will need a pencil to complete the Scantron sheet for the exam.*
Use the following list of topics to focus your studies. The textbook, your class notes, tests, quizzes, and assignments are
all excellent resources for exam review. Good luck!!
**Please remember to bring your textbook to the final exam.**
