Albert’s Regents Life Science: Biology course is organized by content themes and further broken down into topics aligned to the Life Science: Biology Claims and Evidence.

Within each theme, you'll find short topic quizzes comprised of question clusters. Clusters are based on central phenomena. Each topic quiz is designed to be given in a single class period. The quiz questions mimic the rigor and format of the actual exam. For example, here are the topic quizzes within Structure and Function:

Every question is aligned to the standards outlined in the New York State P-12 Science Learning Standards. Each standard begins with NY.

You can find questions aligned to learning standards using our standards search tool. In the Standards drop-down at the top of the Assessments tab, you can search for standards by name (for example, NY HS-LS1-1) or description. When you type in characters that match one of the standards, the drop-down will populate with matching standards.

In addition to standards, each question is assigned one or more tags to help differentiate between the wide variety of questions we offer. These tags are a word or phrase that describe the skill required for a question, with all words lower-case and multiple word tags connected by a hyphen. For example, “math” or “application”.

To search for a tag, click the Tags drop-down within the subject and enter the tag or content you're searching for in the search bar.

For more help on finding questions using standards and tags, visit our Help Center.

Regents Life Science: Biology uses two question types to test students’ understanding of content and provide meaningful practice of important skills.

Students will have access to a four-function or scientific calculator for the entire exam. Graphing calculators are not permitted. Read full details here.

For additional material, you can combine Regents Life Science: Biology with our other core course, Biology. Our core courses are aligned to NY standards, so you can leverage thousands of aligned practice questions across Albert to assess, reteach, and extend student learning.

Our Help Center is available any time and provides articles written by the Albert team to answer questions you might have about implementing Albert in your classroom.
