EmSAT Achieve BiologyPublic Test Specification\n\nTest Description:EmSAT Biology Achieve measures test taker proficiency in Biology and determinestheir readiness for college.EmSAT Biology Achieve has four major sections:(1)From molecules toliving organisms-Structure and function;(2)Heredity and genetic technology;(3)Evolution andDiversity of Life;(4)Ecology -Interdependence,energy,and dynamics.  \nThe exam is adaptive.Exam content and difficulty is customized to the individual test taker.When atest taker answers a question correctly,they will be given more difficult content;when they answer aquestion incorrectly,they will be given easier content.This process of continuous adjustment deliversoptimized content for each test taker throughout the exam,maximizing their opportunity to performat their best and providing a more accurate measure of their ability.Test takers should do their best toanswer each question correctly;once a question is answered,they will not be able to go back andchange the answer.  \n\n| Test Duration:   | 120 minutes   |\n| --- | --- |\n| Questions:   | 50 questions   |\n| Content Areas:   | (1)From molecules to living organisms:Structure and

Areas\n\nBelow are the major sections and related content specifications that grade 12 students should be ableto demonstrate to meet the expectations of this test.  \n### Section 1:From molecules to living organisms:Structure and function\n\nThis section includes the chemistry of life as well as living organisms'organization and development.The chemistry of life focuses on the importance of biological macromolecules in the body and theproperties of water that allow life to exist on earth,as well as the role of enzymes in chemicalreactions carried out in living organisms.It also focuses on the major cellular processes of breakingenergy(photosynthesis and cellular respiration)and energy transformation.  \nLiving organisms'organization and development focuses of the role of the cell in different livingorganisms emphasizing on cellular structures and their functions,as well as the use of microscopes incellular studies.In addition,this part focuses on major body systems and processes in living organisms.It emphasizes the role of body systems in different living organisms with relation to the importance ofthe interaction between the body systems in maintaining the internal body environment.  \n## Content Specifications\n\n·    Distinguish between the four major categories of carbon compounds in terms of composition,energy values,and primary functions","cbCaiqa3RZDpGsI2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqa3RZDpGsI2","pdf",778450,16,"English","# Test Description\n## Adaptive Testing Model\n# Test Structure\n## Duration, Questions, and Task
