Which Biology with lab should I take? - ftlmom - 08-11-2021
Hi. I tried to take CLEP biology to substitute the lab portion of my science credits, but failed. Now I need to find a Biology with lab. Which site do you suggest I take Biology with lab from: Study.com or Straighterline?

Assuming this is for UMPI or COSC, take Biology 101L at Study.com. The one at SL uses a physical lab kit that can take forever to get shipped to you. The SDC one is virtual and you can take it immediately.
If this is for a different school, it depends on the school and whether Biology 101L is accepted or not.

Is there a fee for the virtual lab kit at Study.com?

IIRC, the virtual lab is $50. The one at SL is $82 plus shipping.

Can I take the lab portion of it without taking the entire class with the quizzes?

If this is for UMPI you need the lab science to be 1 class. You can't take a CLEP exam and then go take a lab. They have to be together.

No, not for credit. If you want the ACE credit through Study.com it is a package deal (full course w/lab or nothing)

Thank you guys so much! I will definitely be taking biology lab at Study.com.
