Who Must Take the End of Course Biology Test
• All New Jersey public high school students, regardless of grade level, who are enrolled in a first-year biology course any time during the 2008-2009 school year, must take the End of Course Biology Test. The following course titles are included as exemplars:
• Resource Center Biology
• ESL Biology
• General Biology
• Life Science
• Foundations in Biology
• College Prep Biology
• Honors Biology
• Accelerated Biology
• Advanced Placement Biology (see below)
• Integrated Science (see below)
The additional criteria for participation in the End of Course Biology Test must be followed:
• Students taking AP Biology, without having completing a biology prerequisite, must take the May 2009 End of Course Biology Test.
• Students taking AP Biology, after completing a biology prerequisite, must not take the May 2009 End of Course Biology Test.
• Students taking Integrated Science as an alternative to the biology offerings listed above, must take the May 2009 End of Course Biology Test.
• Students taking Integrated Science as a prerequisite course for biology elective must not take the May 2009 End of Course Biology Test. These students will take the End of Course Biology Test during the school year that they are enrolled in the biology elective.
• Students who failed the May 2008 End of Course Biology Test may not take the May 2009 End of Course Biology Test. Retest options will become available when the test becomes a requirement for graduation.
Districts are advised to align their biology course offerings with the New Jersey High School Biology/Life Science Syllabus. The syllabus and related information can be downloaded from the NJDOE web site at: http://www.nj.gov/education/aps/cccs/science/
