Description

Soon, our grown-up children will have school exams, and for many of those who later will have to enter universities in science and medical faculties, it will be completely necessary first to pass the Unified State Exam (EGE) in biology in their schools.

I sincerely hope that the audio materials provided here will be a very useful aid not only for preparing for and taking the EGE, but also for entrance exams to institutes and universities.

This audiobook contains 5 audio courses from the IDDK company on biology, botany, and zoology, covering all the main sections of the school curriculum in the specified natural science subjects. In addition, I recommend paying attention to the entertaining Lectures for schoolchildren: “The Animal World of Russia” and “The Plant World of Russia,” also published by IDDK as a necessary supplement to the above audio courses on biology, zoology, and botany.
