Hey, I have been studying for a biology clep. And I don't know if I'm ready to take the clep. How do I tell if I'm ready to take the clep????
Any help would be great!
Thanks,

Go to the library and ask for a Biology Clep book with sample tests.
You can also check which reference books are used for the cleps and check if these reference books
have a website, they usually do and the website usually has several sample tests.

This is a good book(nope, it's not an affiliate link or such) I used years ago, although it wasn't for the CLEP.
I used the REA Biology book for the CLEP, but I already seemingly knew Biology decently enough from Biology Smart.

If you are military then take the first 2 Peterson practice tests from here:
CLEP Prep
If you score in the mid 60s you should be fine.
I took it with about 4 days of studying and still passed with a 61 even though I was not very confident going in.
There is a lot of topics in Biology you need a basic understanding of all of them. Some questions are really detailed, but as long as you are familiar with the topic you can usually narrow it down to 2 answers and pick one of them.
