Bio Clep

[LittleTex]

I am taking the bio clep at the end of April and have been studying since February, yet I always feel as though I am not studying what I am supposed to be. I am studying out of the AP biology Cliffs Notes book as well as the free clep prep website, using wikipedia and sparknotes as back-ups and the Campbell's Biology 7th edition book (but it has too many details). I am worried that I am thinking that it will be easier than it is and I am not filling in all the details and all the information.

I'd really like some honest feedback as to how hard the bio clep really is, whether it is truly passable, if the time limit is hard and how much detail the the questions ask. I bet many of you probably can't remember, but any advice at this point would most likely calm my nerves.

Thanks!

Here's the link to free Petersons tests: INSPIRE Information (just scroll down to the last logo on the left, called Testing & Education Reference Center & click on it) If you take a practice test that should help gage how ready you are.

I don't think most people find this test that hard if you have a good science background & study pretty hard. For some reason I found it extremely difficult (not to study for, just when I started the real thing ). I got around 62 on both REA tests, & mid-60s on the only Petersons one I took. But I only passed the real thing by some good guessing skills. But I'm not sure that's typical. Sounds like you're doing some really good studying, so take a practice test, & tell us what you got :]

Here's some previous threads that should help you...
