Honors Biology
Teacher: Mrs. Nelson
This class is a particularly challenging one. There is a lot of content, which tends to be difficult to understand. However, I will try to make it as clear as possible for you guys. Note: if you take CP Biology, you learn generally the same things as the Honors Biology students, except in less detail. If there is something you learned about in the second semester that is not in the study guide I have made, try looking for it in the biology study guide on the midterms page. We learn the same things, but in a different order, so check in the biology study guide for midterms for a particular section if you don't see it here.

100 multiple choice and matching questions (approximately)
Short answer section with writing, diagrams, and long and short responses
Questions will be in chronological order and similar topics will be in groups
Structure and format are very similar to the midterm
If something wasn't on a test or quiz during the second semester, it most likely won't be on the final exam.

PowerPoints
These PowerPoints are not mine - they were made by Edward J. Zalisko, the author of several biology books. My teacher edits and uses them for class, so I found them online and edited them to make them a bit more condensed.

Videos
I found a channel on YouTube called "CrashCourse" and it was extremely helpful in studying for biology quizzes and tests, as well as being really interesting. I have included some of their videos here; I recommend that you watch ALL of them. Personally, I find them funny and informative. To put it simply, I find them great, so watch them. Also, you should subscribe to CrashCourse and watch some of their other videos, too. They don't just cover science, they cover history and other topics as well.
