The Official Grade 11 Biology Review
This is a list of topics that we have covered since the beginning of the year. In terms of the exam this
is a cumulative evaluation therein everything from the beginning of the year will be covered, so be
prepared. Review questions have been supplied however ensure that you look over each section and
review your tests, quizzes and labs from each section covered as well. The final exam is worth 30% of
your final mark.
