provides you with a Personalized Learning Plan that enhances BiochemistryNow.This precise page-by-page integration
your problem-solving skills and conceptual understanding. enables you to go beyond reading about biochemistry—
you’ll actually experience it in action!

How does it work?

The BiochemistryNow system includes three
powerful assessment components:
What Do I Know? This diagnostic Pre-
Test based on the chapter-opening Critical
Questions gives you an initial assessment of
your knowledge.
What Do I Need to Learn? Based on
the automatically graded Pre-Test,you
receive a Personalized Learning Plan that
outlines key elements for review.
What Have I Learned? After working
through your Personalized Learning Plan,
you can complete a Post-Test to assess your knowledge.

With a click of the mouse, the unique

interactive activities contained at
BiochemistryNowallow you to:
