BLUF: I just took the TECEP BIO-208 (April 2023) and scored a 66%, which is a passing grade.
Man, there was a LOT on this test! I did not prep as much for this as I should have, because I was bored by the study material and blew it off, full disclosure. It is multiple choice, but this is a really wide-ranging topic, so I would not recommend doing what I did!
Sooo many questions about enzymes, how the body metabolizes glucose, pregnancy and diabetes questions, which body systems do what specific functions in regards to digestion, how amino acids work, ATP & ADP, the "Apgar Score" and birth weights relation to a child's general health, and more questions about cholesterol, glucose, glycogen than I was prepared for. It's not top-of-the-brain material, and as the prior response noted a lot of it was weirdly specific!
What I did review was some minor flashcard practice on Quizlet. It was only so helpful. I would recommend going more indepth reading up on nutrition stuff, specifically the less common terms related to metabolism and how the body utilizes vitamins and minerals. Be sure to use the resources in the most current TECEP study info on the actual TESU website, because it provides three primary resources to use to prepare for the exam.
It was tough, but...I did just well enough to get the CR grade. Phew! Don't slack that I did though, that was stressful!!!
