Every biology teacher in Texas faces the same crunch: STAAR® is coming, the new TEKS are in effect, and you need a review that actually reflects what students will see on test day. Not a worksheet that still references old standards. Not a Google search that sends you to outdated prep materials. A real, comprehensive review built around the 2025–2026 TEKS from the ground up.
What's included?
Targeted Questions
123 unique questions covering all four strands, with four question types. Your students get to practice the full range of what they'll encounter on the real test.
Writing Prompts
You'll also get 20 writing prompts designed to build constructed response skills across all of biology.
full-length practice exam
A fully editable 35 question exam that mirrors the format and rigor of the actual test.
Answer Keys & Explanations
Everything comes with teacher answer keys that include detailed explanations, not just answer letters. And because every classroom is different, most files are fully editable to fit your students' needs.

Implementation Timeline
FIRST
Weeks 1-2
Work through the four strand reviews (Cell Structures, Functions & Processes, Mechanisms of Genetics, Interdependence within Environmental Systems, and Biological Evolution) — one strand per every 2–3 days, using the detailed explanations to address gaps immediately after each section.
SECOND
Week 3
Assign the full-length practice exam (Google Form for instant data, or printable for test-taking practice). Review answers as a class using the detailed answer key to reinforce understanding of missed concepts.
THIRD
Week 4
Use the 20 writing prompts for constructed response practice — target the strands where performance data showed the most gaps. Layer in anchoring phenomena or lab stations for any strand needing deeper reinforcement before test day.
FINALLY
Take the Test
Your students will complete the official exam on their own. By using intentional review, you will provide your students a better opportunity to demonstrate mastery.
What High School Teachers Say
This is my first year teaching biology. I actually feel prepared to set my students up for success. We don't have a lot of resources so these are amazing to have on hand.
Biology & IPC Teacher, TX
This is like having a superpower! My students are able to review, everything is TEKS aligned, and it is making things so much easier to prepare for the STAAR!
Biology Teacher, TX
I've been a teacher for many years and am department chair for my school. These STAAR resources have helped my biology team prepare their students. Now when they come to me in Chemistry, they are even more skilled. What a blessing!
