FTCE Biology 6-12 (002) Study Guide 2027–2028 | Florida Biology Teacher Certification Exam Prep and Practice Tests

Prepare for the FTCE Biology 6-12 (002) test, the Florida Teacher Certification Examinations subject area test for biology teachers. This study guide follows all ten official competencies, from the investigative processes of science to evolution, with Florida ecosystems and lab-based data questions throughout.

What's Inside:

- Exam overview: about 80 multiple-choice questions in 2 hours 30 minutes, no reference materials or calculator, the ten competencies and their weights, the $150 fee, the passing scaled score of 200 and the retake rules

- The nature of science and experimental design, microscopes, lab techniques (chromatography, gel electrophoresis, PCR), measurement and lab safety

- Science, technology and society: biotechnology ethics, environmental issues, invasive species

- Biochemistry, enzymes, cell signaling and immunity; cellular respiration, fermentation and photosynthesis

- Cell structure, membranes and transport, and the cell cycle

- Molecular genetics, biotechnology, meiosis, Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance

- Viruses and prokaryotes; protists, fungi and plants; animal structure, systems and behavior

- Ecology and Florida ecosystems: energy flow, cycles, populations and communities

- Evolution: natural selection, Hardy-Weinberg, speciation and classification

- Worked examples, 140+ quick-reference tables and 15 study diagrams and charts (respiration stages, photosynthesis, the cell cycle, the central dogma, a Punnett square, survivorship curves, exponential and logistic growth)

- Study schedules, FAQs and test-taking strategies

- 2 practice tests of 100 multiple-choice questions each (four answer choices, weighted like the official competencies) with a complete answer key and an explanation for every question
