GRADE 11 UNIVERSITY BIOLOGY - FINAL EXAM REVIEW

The final exam will be worth 30% of your final mark. There will be multiple choice (40%), true/false (15%), matching (15%), short answer (20%) questions, as well as diagrams to label (10%). Definitions of terms will be in matching or multiple choice questions, not in short answer questions. *You will need a pencil to complete the Scantron sheet for the exam.*

Use the following list of topics to focus your studies. The textbook, your class notes, tests, quizzes, and assignments are all excellent resources for exam review. Good luck!!

**Please remember to bring your textbook to the final exam.**
