I would recommend reading through Peterson's CLEP Success ebook before trying the Peterson's online practice tests.

This test is a lot more than just Biology. Try the other 4kids sites, too.
Also try finding a copy of the REA Study Guide.

I agree with NAP - I took this in December and relied mostly on ALL the 4kids sites (chemistry, physics, etc). I also used the CLEP official test guide and the Peterson's guide for practice tests. I haven't taken a science class since high school 15 years ago, I studied off & on for a couple weeks, and I got a 57. Good luck!

The REA Book!

Hey!
I totally agree with all that has been said here! The REA book is really helpful and another one that really helped is the Cracking the Clep book! I don't know if you have this or you can get it from a local library or something, but the questions in there were really good and really close to the material on the actual exam. I highly suggest this! I found that the Peterson's free online tests were a lot harder than the real thing! So don't get discouraged with them. I know you will do great though! I am not strong in science and passed with a 57! Blessings ~Kelsey
