Yuma Union High School District freshmen will take the Cambridge Board Exam for biology on Tuesday.

Cibola, Gila Ridge, Kofa, San Luis and Yuma high schools will be administering the exam, and students should report to their home campus to take the test.

During this academic year of 2011-2012, all freshman students took part in the unique opportunity of taking Cambridge Curriculum Coursework in biology, stated YUHSD officials.

As part of this opportunity, students completed Cambridge biology labwork and/or coursework during the academic year, which made up a significant portion of their overall board exam. On June 12, students will complete the last remaining portion of the board exam system for biology by taking a 45-minute, multiple-choice exam.

Exam results will be available in August.

Following are the check-in/exam times for each school and the phone numer for more information: Yuma High 1 p.m./1:30 p.m. (502-5000), Kofa High 12:30 p.m./1:30 p.m. (502-5400), Cibola noon/1:15 p.m. (502-5700), San Luis High 12:45 p.m./1:15p.m. (502-6100) and Gila Ridge 1 p.m./1:30 p.m. (502-6400).
