By doing it this way, even when Collegeboard changes the tests on us, our materials stay pretty reliable (as long as they don't change the content outline).

The point is--if we hear of half a different study sources, including other people's sample tests, it's not really feasible for us to develop a course from that. And unfortunately, most customers would not be happy with a 1500 question database for one test.

Any thoughts on readdressing the idea of blending biology and natural science together under one category perhaps? I know that there have been numerous postings of many resource guides and tests being used to try and pass both these exams. As successful as Instantcert has been in serving my exam needs, I'd rather have this as a primary source even if the database is expansive. As it is now everyone is sort of scrambling to be able to put together a fairly comprehensive program. Just a thought.

I'm not sure what info is available through some of the previous biology/natural science threads, but as I recall that one of the BIGGEST areas of concentration revolved around cellular functions - organelles, mitosis, meiosis, diffussion, osmosis, cellular respiration, etc.

There is A LOT of info to absorb and IC has it all. Of course you can always use other sources such as the REA book and the biology dvd/vhs available from www.StandardDeviants.com - that did it for me. Once you "master" biology as PASS the exam you can apply that same knowledge towards the CLEP Natural Science exam which is 50% biology. GOOD LUCK!!
