I have been studying for CLEP Natural Sciences for 6 weeks. Science is not my strong point, so I tried to cover everything thoroughly. Here's what I did:
REA General Exams Review (old book from like 10 years ago)
2010 REA Natural Sciences Review
Biology Demystified
some Chemistry Demystified
The World of Chemistry on learner.org
Some microbiology videos on learner.org
A couple short books on genetics
A couple short books on physics
SpeedyPrep (they "guarantee" that I'll pass since I am doing 100% of the work on their site).
I took the Princeton practice test and got a 63, took one REA test and got a 58 (that was 40 min., no reviewing answers, so I could have done better.) I plan to take another REA and Petersens practice test before Thursday. (I'll let you all know how they go). Do you think I can make it? All I need is a 50!

You've been at it for quite a while now. If you pass the remaining Petersons then you are most certainly ready - Good Luck!

Thanks. Any other suggestions for this test?
EDIT: Just took the Peterson's test and got 66 correct/54 wrong. According to my REA NS book, that is 59. I think I will just get by on this test!

Well, I passed with a 54.
That is by far the hardest CLEP I have taken, and I was sure that I wouldn't pass. I am very relieved to be done with it!
