Can anyone advise me on the biology clep?
Is it really possible just to do it with IC and is it reasonable to study for just a month?

I took the CLEP after 3 months but only because I was full time in college...I think it can be done in one month if it's solid studying. It's better to use another source besides IC but there was once a thread about passing bio with just IC. I used 3 sections of IC, REA and 2 petersons test and passed with a 54. I also used Khan Academy which was extremely helpful and the exam feedback.
Do you already know some biology or is it something new?
I just finished a bio class in college now because I needed 2 biologys and I know my stuff very well so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Good luck!

Back when I did it, I only really used Hippocampus and IC. A month is enough time as long as you spend a couple hours a day.
I'd go through the Hippocampus presentations first and then drill it with IC. I only went onto the Hippocampus site about three or four days before my exam and I wished I had done it sooner.

I am studying for this now. I have been out of college for a long time. My last biology class was in 1994!
I am studying the REA book, already took the A&P class at Straighterline and have an AP BIO book that I will go through this weekend.
I just took 50 question test from the official CLEP book and scored a raw 64% which equates to a pass as a scaled score.
Of course this is not good enough. There were some questions where I just guessed and some that were totally out of left field for me.
The hippocampus link should be good.

Thank you for that post. It is great. I have clicked on most of the links and some of the information I have been reading is solidifying more now.
