Natural Science Clep
#1
Has anyone had any experience with this Clep? I am towards the end of my degree and want to kill my remaining credits with Cleps. I took the practice test from the Princeton Review Cracking the Clep 5th edition. I got 91 out of 120 questions correct. On the practice one from the 2014 Official Clep Study Guide I got 52 out of 83 correct. I'm almost 22. In highschool, I was in the honor sciences and remember a lot of the basics. I understand that raw scores are not the same as the actual Clep scores, but would my raw scores indicate I should pass? If anyone has any other free practice test they know of that work well, I'd appreciate it as well.

i didnt do any prep test really. I printed off the one from the site. I think buying the biology one would be helpful for this test

As a person who never took a Clep, I can't say what works well. Im planning on taking the Natural Science one soon. I'm just a little nervous because while I consistently get 60+% on practice tests, Im not sure how the actual Clep compares nor am I sure how they scale it. It might be hard to say consistently with only 2 practice tests. I was hoping for more advice to see how my practice test results should compare to the actual Clep.

A lot of people have talked about taking the bio Clep first because of overlapping material. I don't plan on doing that. However, I took the practice test from the Clep official study Guide. I got 34/80 on the Bio practice Clep. As a reminder, I took the Natural Science practice test from the Princeton Review Cracking the Clep 5th edition. I got 91 out of 120 questions correct. On the Natural science practice one from the 2014 Official Clep Study Guide I got 52 out of 83 correct. I'm almost 22. In highschool, I was in the honor sciences and remember a lot of the basics.

I think your bio score would not be passing, but your Nat Sci course might. Most people around here recommend that you start to get in the 60%+ range on practice tests from the CLEP study guide and/or REA guides before you attempt the exam. Your scores are fairly low. I don't know how well the Princeton Review practice tests are as an indicator of how well you will do.

I figured the bio was going to be too low. Bio is my weaker link but given how half the test is bio, I would think the other half might carry me. I plan on improving my bio. I plan on taking a Peterson practice test as well before hand and also the REA. Should I look at CLEP study guides from other years for the Natural Science or are they recycled questions?

You only need 1 CLEP guide, they only update the tests occasionally, and those haven't been changed in a long time.
