Looks like you may need a new biology tutor. Don't worry, I bet you're an A+ history or math student!

Baby raising his finger, as if to make a point

Oh no, you didn't pass!

You didn't quite pass, but you're almost there. Maybe you're a little rusty on your biology knowledge, but with a bit more studying, you'll be good to go!

You're SO close!

Congratulations, you passed! You must've really paid attention in class. Bill Nye would be proud!
