Study strategy - sundi712 - 05-16-2009
Hi everyone. I am scheduled to take the Biology CLEP this Friday and have no idea how to make a study plan for this. I have a textbook that I had to take for my first BIOL course and the only thing I can think of besides studying these website questions is reading and reading all chapters of this book but this would take forever.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
Thanks a lot!

Take a look at sparknotes.com or you can purchase the book at barnes & Noble for $14.95. This is one of the tougher exams, so I don't think you can afford anymore delays.

First look to see what's going to be on the exam, by looking at the exam Description of the Examination on CLEP's website:
CLEP: Biology
and then check out the Instantcert exam specific area on Biology.
If you don't feel prepared then reschedule exam until you feel you are ready.

If you can check out the specific exam forum on this site. Do a search on biology and you will get many helpful suggestions as to study materials and what is actually on this exam. I studied extensively for six weeks on this one and failed by a point. I had many courses in natural science behind me but it had been quite a long time since I took them. Still I feel that unless you have fresh knowledge of the subject you would be wise to allow more study time. The wait time for failure is six months versus delaying the exam for a few days or weeks to study to pass. Just a suggestion.
