How to build your biology SOL review set

Most students preparing for the Virginia biology SOL want biology SOL flashcards that match what their teacher covered, and a generic deck from the internet rarely does. The strongest review set comes from your own unit notes, because those contain the vocabulary and examples your exam is built around.

Cover one unit per set so review stays focused.
Keep each back short enough to check in a few seconds.
Mix in true/false questions to catch confusion between similar terms.
Redo missed cards each day rather than rereading the full notes.

Example biology SOL flashcards on cells and genetics

What is the function of the mitochondrion?It releases energy from glucose through cellular respiration, producing ATP for the cell.

How do mitosis and meiosis differ?Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces four genetically varied haploid gametes.

What does a dominant allele do in a heterozygous genotype?It masks the recessive allele, so the organism shows the dominant trait.

What do enzymes do to activation energy?They lower the activation energy a reaction needs, and they are not used up in the process.

What role do producers play in a food web?They capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and build organic molecules that consumers rely on.

Generate the full set

Works from your own material

Upload PDF handouts, DOCX notes, PPTX slides, plain text or photos of your textbook pages.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so key terms like osmosis and genotype stick before test day.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Switch to multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions, or map how cell structures connect.

How it works

Upload your biology material

Add the unit notes, lab handouts or chapter PDF your teacher used for the Virginia biology SOL.

Review the generated cards

Check each front and back against your notes and delete anything that does not match your course.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck daily in the browser, and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you find hardest.

Start with one unit at a time, such as cells, genetics or ecology, and generate cards from that unit's notes. Keep the fronts to a single term or question and the backs to one clear idea, so each card tests recall rather than memorization of a paragraph.

Frequently asked questions

What topics should I include in biology SOL flashcards?

Focus on the strands your teacher emphasized, usually cell structure and function, genetics, evolution, ecology and energy flow. Use your class notes and released review materials as the source so the terms match your course.

How often should I review biology flashcards before the SOL?

Short daily sessions work better than long cram sessions, since spaced repetition schedules harder cards to return sooner. Many students spread review across several weeks before the test.

Can I export my biology flashcards?

Exports are a paid feature. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are included in Plus, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month, and the free plan lets you study in the browser.

Is there a free plan for students?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month with browser study and no exports. Students can get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
