This material, along with the Biology 30 Program of Studies, Biology 30 Information Bulletin, student-based performance standards, and school authority or school reports, can provide insight for teachers to assist them with instructional programming.  \nThe blueprint summary on the following pages shows the keyed response, outcome classification according to the program of studies, classification of cognitive level, and difficulty for each question. An explanation of the cognitive levels (including minor revisions made in 2017) can be found in the 2017-2018 Biology 30 Information Bulletin. The percentage reported in the Difficulty column indicates the proportion of students who got the question correct.  \nAdditional Documents and Online Resources  \nProvincial Assessment supports the instruction of Biology 30 with the following documents and online resources.  \nThese documents contain information about administrations of the diploma examinations for the upcoming school year, sample questions, and assessment samples for classroom use.  \n• Biology 30 Information Bulletin  \n• Biology 30 Archived Information Bulletin  \n• Biology 30 Assessment Exemplars  \n• Biology 30 Student-based Performance Standards  \nThe Biology 30 Practice Tests contains previous diploma examinations and some practice questions that have been released.  \nAlberta Education, Provincial Assessment Sector 1    \nBiology 30  \nBiology 30 Diploma Examination January 2017: Blueprint Summary  \nKey: MC—Multiple Choice; NR—Numerical Response  \nR/U—Remembering/Understanding; A—Application; HMA—Higher Mental Activities  \n\n| Question | Key | Outcome | Cognitive Level | Difficulty (%) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| MC1 | C | A1.1K, A1.2S | R/U | 86.5 |\n| MC2 | A | A1.1K, A.13STS | A | 76.1 |\n| MC3 | D | A1.3K, A1.2S | A | 81.6 |\n| NR1 | 4312 | A1.2K | R/U | 84.3 |\n| MC4 | D | A1.2K | R/U | 53.1 |\n| NR2 | 457 (any order) | A1.4K, A1.2S | R/U | 66.3 |\n| MC5 | C | A1.5K, A1.3S | A | 72.4 |\n| MC6 | C | A2.1K, A2.2K | R/U | 46.9 |\n| MC7 | D | A2.3K, A2.2K, A2.6K | HMA | 42.6 |\n| MC8 | A | A2.6K | A | 73.6 |\n| MC9 | C | A2.3K, A2.6K, A2.3S | A | 49.3 |\n| NR3 | 3421 | A2.2K, A2.4K | A | 65.9 |\n| MC10 | C | A2.2K, A2.1K | A | 63.4 |\n| MC11 | B | A2.4K | A | 65.5 |\n| NR4 | 6231 | B1 .2K, B1 .2S | R/U | 55.4 |\n| MC12 | D | B1 .3K, B1 .2S | HMA | 67.3 |\n| MC13 | C | B","cbCaiaitDIkVi02H","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaitDIkVi02H","pdf",20580821,45,"English","# Introduction\n## Additional Documents and Online Resources\n# Biology 30 Diploma Examination January 2017: Blueprint Summary","[{\"question\":\"What does the blueprint summary in this document include for each Biology 30 exam question?\",\"answer\":\"For each keyed question, it lists the question type, keyed response, outcome classification from the program of studies, cognitive level category, and the difficulty percentage (the share of students who answered correctly).\"},{\"question\":\"Which question formats are used in the released materials?\",\"answer\":\"The key indicates MC for Multiple Choice and NR for Numerical Response, with each question mapped to outcomes and cognitive levels.\"},{\"question\":\"What additional provincial assessment resources are referenced for Biology 30 instruction?\",\"answer\":\"The document points to the Biology 30 Information Bulletin, Archived Information Bulletin, Assessment Exemplars, and Student-based Performance Standards, and it notes that Biology 30 Practice Tests include some released practice questions.\"}]","Biology 30 Released Items - Biology 30 Diploma Examination January 2017 - Blueprint Summary | PDF",1790748657,113,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":99},[100,104,108,111,116,121,126,131,136,139,143],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":109,"slug":110},70,"exam",{"id":112,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":113,"show_sort_weight":114,"slug":115},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":118,"show_sort_weight":119,"slug":120},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":122,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":123,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":125},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":129,"slug":130},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":134,"slug":135},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":134,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":134,"slug":138},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":140,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":141,"show_sort_weight":140,"slug":142},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":144,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":145,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":146},19,"General","general"]
