Answering biology assessment questions


Answering Level two and three NCEA Biology Questions

Biology assessment is very language dependent. Paragraphs and short essays tend to be the required response in our external assessments.
The following steps could be useful in putting together a decent answer:


  1. Read the Question
  2. Define any key words (scientific terms)
  3. Take a moment to sketch a quick concept map (related facts and processes) or T chart (comparison, similarities and differences)
  4. Write an answer explaining at least four ideas or terms from you concept map or T chart using any examples given in the question.
  5. Read the question once more. if you are happy with your answer move on.
