Wikipedia links for CLEP Biology

This is an updated list of Wikipedia links to help you prepare for the CLEP Biology exam. You don't necessarily have to read everything on each linked page. Depending on your prior knowledge level, you may need to diligently study some pages and only skim over other pages.

If you understand all of these linked pages, you are ready to take the actual test.

This is a very helpful post to pass the Biology CLEP. It was what I used after completing practice exams to ensure I understood different information. Thanks clep3705 for the time put into creating this post for others!

Aren't those wiki links carrying too much information for the exam ?

Have you carefully looked at the CLEP Official Study Guide? Compare the links to the list of topics in the CLEP Official Study Guide which has 64 bullet points with up to 4 topics per bullet point. There are 82 links, which is less than the number of topics in the CLEP Official Study Guide. Notice that there is a link provided for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The CLEP Official Study Guide also mentions the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and adds punctuated equilibrium. I did not include a link for punctuated equilibrium because I thought it was too much information, although the College Board chose to publicly point it out as important. In other words, the links are less detailed than the CLEP Official Study Guide which is available for the world to see.

Since there was a recent question about studying for the CLEP biology exam, I will restate that you don't have to read the entire Wikipedia page. Your objective is to able to pick one answer from another on a multiple choice test, not deliver a lecture on the topic. The CLEP biology test is more at the level of being able to provide a definition.

Wish I saw all those posts BEFORE I took my clep... it might of helped me pass. I thought I knew the information from the book and Instantcert cold but I only got a 47 - just 3 points away Sad.
I felt as though a lot of the questions had no connection to the REA book, but looking at your list, clep3705, you seemed to have included a lot of what I somehow missed!
Do you think maybe I'd pass if I waited 3 months to take it again? or if I failed once, will I probably fail again?

Yes, you should pass if you use these links. The problem with CLEP biology is that it is so broad. Many people waste enormous amounts of time studying the wrong material. I tried to make things more efficient by focusing on what's really important.

I am using these wonderful links (Thank you!) and Crash Course together. But I do have one question about the exam. How strongly do we need to know the association between any of these scientists and their relation to what they discovered. In my mind, it is meaningless, so I have a tendency to not remember or care. But, what does the exam dictate?

Thank you in advance.
