Matthew is in it, but he doesn't write as many tests now.

General stuff, with a few hard ones thrown in. This doesn't have to stump everyone. It isn't a real competition. It's just for practice. If you make it too hard, a team might win by chance because they guessed right on two or three questions.

i'll probably do that, but i'm thinking about making it hard because most of the tests are easy until you get to state, and i don't think that prepares anybody well

Look in an ecology book or AP bio book and look for graphs/charts or different ecology experiments. Then put the raw data, graphs, information about the experiments on the test and ask them to analyze something about it or explain why something occurred (that's how I made the two examples on the wiki). Put one or two pictures of grassland or desert animals/plants and just ask for adaptations/reasons for. Compare and contrast questions are easy for the two ecosystems. You might want to put a couple lame straight forward questions about pollution, alternative energy, nutrient cycling, etc as well.

If you want to prepare them for anything, actually make them have to think. Anyone can look up and memorize definitions from the book, testing them on application is what really shows who knows what they're doing.
