CLEP - BIOLOGY Recommendations? - GoBroncos95 - 01-25-2024

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to take the Biology CLEP Exam. This is the last Gen Ed I need to graduate with my associates thru my local community college. I just wanted to ask for some recommendations?

I was doing some mild research and saw the Modern States Biology Clep Prep and a 2 hour long Monitrix Biology CLep Study video.

Anyone recommend any other study tips and resources I should use?


Thank you!!

I used a mix of ModernStates, InstantCert, Quizlet, and Peterson's practice tests for CLEP exams.

If you can score 70% on the practice test, then you are ready for the exam and should have a 90%+ chance of passing.

Used same resources others suggested. For Peterson's practice exams, check your local library system for access . Might have to ask at reference desk for info. and our library system had some REA guides for CLEP.

Signed up for InstantCert! Seems pretty fundamental. Modern states seems pretty straight forward.

@GoBroncos95, Which community college and degree are you going for at the Associates level? Are you missing a science class for that degree and that's it?

College Southern Nevada, and I am going for a Associates Applied Sciecnce: Physical Science. I am literally 1 3 credit Natural Science Course away from graduating. 

Once I graduate I plan on Transferringsome credits to UMPI for a Bachelors in Project Management & Information Systems.

I highly recommend using the Modern States for the Free Clep voucher. For studying for the Biology Clep, I preferred the Crash Course series on YouTube. It makes it a much more enjoyable learning experience. Between those 2, it should get you enough information to pass the exam. If you had been going for a more science heavy bachelors/masters, there would be other paths I would suggest, but for your listed goal, this is perfect. If you need to add the Labs on afterwards, I am attending Luna Community College online for just the Bio 2 Lab for about $90 after all fees.

Actually, since you mentioned Natural Science, it may be slightly 'easier' than the Biology CLEP. Even though both are rated a 3 and possibly worth 6 credits, Natural Science is in the middle of the pack, but Biology is dead last (hardest). I think the Natural Science is primarily Biology with 1/3 or so Chem and/or other sciences combined. Link: http://www.free-clep-prep.com/clep-difficulty-list.html
