Exam Preparation – Recommendations and Timetable:
1. For each unit, read over all fill-in notes. If you have lost any notes go to the
website and read them off.
2. For each unit, find the correlating chapters (pages) in the Sylvia Mader “Inquiry
Into Life” textbook and read over those pages. Pay very close attention to all
diagrams and figures.
3. Look over the PLO Guide that lists the specific learning outcomes for each unit.
4. For each unit you were provided lists of “Unit Review Questions”. Go over each
question and place a check mark by all questions that you can answer without any
hesitation. For any questions you struggle with go back and study or come in for
help.
5. Go on-line to print off old Provincial Exams, or go through the “KSS Bi 12
Provincial Exam Questions Review Booklet” (if purchased), or use another study
source (“Biology 12 – THE KEY”)
