Test Your Knowledge and Prepare for Success

This Free Online Mock Test for NEET Biology is based on the Unit 1 Diversity of Living Organisms of NCERT book. This test has covered questions from Chapter 1: The Living World and Chapter 2: Biological Classifications. This test will assess your understanding of:

• Chapter 1: The Living World
  • What defines a living organism
  • The vast diversity within the living world
  • Systems for classifying organisms (taxonomy)
  • Tools and resources for classification
• Chapter 2: Biological Classification
  • The Five Kingdoms (Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia)
  • Unique characteristics of viruses, viroids, and lichens
  • How classification systems have changed over time

This mock test features questions directly inspired by those found in previous years’ NEET and other national-level exams. It comprehensively covers all essential topics from both chapters. Simply access this free resource, put your knowledge to the test, and evaluate your current understanding.

Take this test to:
