It depends on what kind of test you have, but usually, one of us identifies all the species on the list while the other answers the questions from the top down and then the second person goes and answers questions from the bottom of the page up
As for organizing binders, I guess organizing it by the list is what most people do, but you can organize all the species in alphabetical order if you want. Also, it can help to have all your pictures together in one section and information in another so that you can easily flip through the pictures if you forgot something.

Nice! Your turn!

Also, it is rumored that Ben Franklin introduced Chinese Tallow into the US, but that is probably false. :P
