The CLEP chemistry exam is much easier than a college level chemistry course. You don't need to bother learning orbitals at all. I've taken 21 hours of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry with labs. The exam is way below the level of those. It's really high school general chemistry.
My only preparation was taking the first two Peterson's practice tests getting 51% and 49% correct, respectively. I decided I had enough knowledge to squeak by and I did. Fyi, I took the chemistry section of the HESI test and scored at the 88th percentile.
