    The STAAR exam administered to Biology students is specific to the course.   The Biology STAAR EOC test is comprised of 54 multiple choice items reported in 5 categories:  cell structure and function, mechanisms of genetics, biological evolution and classification, biological processes and systems, and  interdependence with environmental systems.   Approximately 60%-65% of these items will come from the Readiness Standards while 35%-40% will come from the Supporting Standards. 

     

    In 91ÖÆƬ³§, the majority of freshmen are enrolled in Biology, so most 9th graders will take the Biology end-of-course STAAR exam in May.  For a student to graduate they must pass the STAAR biology test.  Opportunities to retest will be available in the summer and in the fall.
