Good luck. I would not call this a hard or tricky test. You will need to know the concepts. I found the questions to be either I knew it or I didn't. Personally found the REA Biology book with the CD the most helpful (and it's not 400 pages...) and followed that up with just clicking through the IC cards and reading all the information. I didn't fill in any blanks. I've overprepared for every exam I've taken and with just doing that did it again. Scored a 70. Then took the Natrual Scienes the next day with no prep other than the official CLEP study guide questions and got a 64.
I think that you'll do great following your plan.
I know this is your last but if there is anyone else following this thread that needs more than just Biology... If you do well on the Biology CLEP you can pretty much jump into the Natrual Sciences one. It's a lot of Biology but a little less complicated than the Biology only CLEP.
