COLLEGE PREPARATORY BIOLOGY
FINAL EXAM REVIEW SHEET
The cumulative final exam will consist of multiple choice, matching, and short answer
questions in addition to a short lab practical (pigs, tissues, heart, measurement). Please use
the following study guide as a way to organize your knowledge and understanding about the
major themes we have investigated this year from the scientific method and cell biology to
genetics and the theory of evolution. The exam will be worth 10% of your second semester
grade.
On the day of the final, please bring with you, your assigned textbook (the numbers must
match up with the inventory slip), a number 2 pencil for the Scantron sheet, a pen if you
choose for writing the short answers. Make sure you are on time to the exam… the door will
be closed at the bell!
