The acronym a high school biology teacher taught us was King Philip Comes Over For Great Sex. (seriously, a high school teacher had that in his syllabus). Know basic anatomy of people, plants, and mammals. Know a bit about chromosomes, your meiosis and mitosis etc. The feedback thread here is spot on. Just tough it out, you'll do great.
I only used the flashcards and scored a 68, but the life sciences are an interest of mine.

Does anyone know if they give you scratch paper for the CLEP so you can sketch out things if you need to...for instance concepts for line graphs on data interpretation questions, etc?

Yes, you definitely get scratch paper. They always give me a few sheets even though the tests I've taken don't really require it.
In case the proctor is new or something, just request some and you'll definitely get it.

Good luck, but you won't need it! You'll knock it out of the park. Sit in the chair, take a deep breath, and dive in.
And yes, as Sterling said, I've received scratch paper for every exam, including business ones that had no need. Ask while settling in with the start-up login if it's not sitting on the desk already.

I don't understand how it happened but I ended up with a 62. 
I used every second of the test to complete it but at least when I finished the test and my heart rate sped up, I started to sweat, and I had trouble focusing on the screen, I knew what was happening to me. :coolgleam:
I can't even describe how I feel passing this exam...according to my calculations there was no way I should have passed it. I'm just absolutely dumbfounded. I will do specific exam feedback later. I think I'm going to need to run a 5K now to decompress. I have a lot of built up tension...PHEW!
But, YAY!

Congrats! I don't know of many people that go into these tests, no matter how prepared, feeling like they're going to pass. A healthy portion of the ones you might have missed were likely the toss-away questions for future exams, if that's what you mean. Either way, you passed because you busted your rump and did what you had to, so good on you! Don't question the mathematics; the score say's you're done, so you're done!
Hit the pavement, work out leftover anxiety, and enjoy your win! You earned it!
