Praxis Biology 5236 Study Guide 2026–2027 | 200 Practice Questions

Prepare for the Praxis® Biology (5236) test with a complete study guide organized around the five ETS content categories. Each chapter condenses what the test measures into clear explanations, comparison tables, process flows, key-concept boxes, and labeled biology diagrams, so you can review cell biology, genetics and evolution, organismal biology, and ecology without hunting through a textbook.

This 161-page digital guide pairs a focused content review with two 100-question practice tests of exam-level questions, so you can practice reading data tables, critiquing experiments, working genetics and population calculations by hand, and choosing the best response to a classroom scenario, the way the test asks.

What's Inside

• An overview of the current test: 150 selected-response questions in 2 hours 30 minutes, the five content categories and their weights (13/22/26/20/19%), the emphasis on science practices and teaching scenarios, scaled scoring, state-set qualifying scores, fees, and retakes
• Nature and Impact of Science and Engineering: scientific inquiry and experimental design, the nature of science, laboratory procedures and safety, engineering design, and science, technology, and society
• Cell Biology: water and biomolecules, enzymes, cell structure and endosymbiosis, membranes and transport, respiration and photosynthesis, cell signaling, and the cell cycle, mitosis, and meiosis
• Genetics and Evolution: Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance, pedigrees and gene mapping, DNA replication and gene expression, mutations, biotechnology, natural selection, Hardy-Weinberg, speciation, and the origin of life and extinction
• Diversity of Life and Organismal Biology: classification and cladograms, the major groups of organisms, human organ systems, plant biology, animal physiology, and animal behavior
• Ecology: biomes, species interactions, population growth, community structure and succession, energy flow, biogeochemical cycles, and conservation
• 11 labeled biology diagrams (animal cell, membrane, mitochondrion, cell cycle, replication fork, cladogram, neuron, nephron, growth curves, survivorship curves, energy pyramid), a quantitative skills quick reference, and a final review checklist
• Four-, eight-, and twelve-week study plans, FAQs, test-taking strategies, and recommended resources
• 2 practice tests (200 questions, 4 answer choices each) weighted like the real test's five categories, with data tables, experiments, calculations, and classroom scenarios, plus a separate answer key explaining every answer
