Hi all
I am preparing for the exam and wanted to know how deep should I dive into knowing anatomy and physiology part of exam (digestion, immune system, circulatory, respiratory etc). Could someone give me pointers or suggest sources I should look at for this portion
Thanks!

Have you purchased an Official Study Guide? It gives you a practice test for each CLEP. The practice test in it should give you a rough idea of how thorough the questions will be on the real test. The paid forums are a good resource as well.

If you look at the free guide that provides the breakdown of the exam, it seems that anatomy and physiology is only in one of 5 parts of one third of the exam topics. So I would suggest you don't spend a lot of time on that, but I would see the wording of what's in that section. The free guide is downloadable from the page describing the exam, or prep books will include a breakdown.

I used the REA book and the IC cards and passed. They seemed to cover most everything.

(06-07-2018, 02:28 AM)Yes, I bought the study guide, but it doesnt give specific details on what to know for the major systems, which has a lot of info out there, so was needing direction on what to study or not study. I will do a practice test to get better idea.thanks alexf.1990 Wrote: (06-07-2018, 12:37 AM)monzi1987 Wrote: Hi all
