Introduction to Biology I

Content of tests

The testing program titled the Tennessee End of Course Assessment was established to meet the Tennessee mandate for end of course assessments in Tennessee secondary schools. These tests measure the Tennessee State Performance Indicators. Subject areas covered by the end of course assessments include Mathematics, Language Arts, History, and Science.

Test development

For the Tennessee End of Course Assessment, professional item writers experienced in each of the content areas researched and wrote the items. Professional editors and test developers carefully reviewed all items and test directions for content and accuracy. To provide a large pool of items for final test selection, the test developers created approximately 50% more items as were needed in the final editions of the tests.

After items were field tested, student responses were analyzed. Professional content editors and researchers carefully reviewed items, their data, and test directions for content, suitability, and accuracy before including certain items and test directions in operational tests.

Test administration

Tennessee End of Course Assessments are given to students as they are completing courses that are included in the program. Tests may be given midyear for block schedules or at the end of the school year.

The operational Biology test contains 60 multiple-choice questions.

You will have ample time to read and answer each of the questions. The Biology I test is administered in one 75-minute session.

Tips for Taking the Test

Preparing for the test

• Take this Practice Test several times.

• Become familiar with the correct way to mark answers on the answer sheet. Thereis a sample answer sheet in this Practice Test.

Before the test

• Get a good night's sleep. To do your best, you need to be rested.

During the test

• Relax. It is normal to be somewhat nervous before the test. Try to relax and notworry.

• Listen. Listen to and read the test directions carefully. Ask for an explanation ofthe directions if you do not understand them.
