Biology CLEP Advice + Resources Wanted
#1
Let me give you some background to help better understand my case. I'm a math/physics dual major. I just received an A in Chem 1 in past semester, with one of the highest grades in the class. I took a Biology class [for non-science majors, this is before I added a physics major] 3 years ago and received a B. Basically, I'm trying to establish I have a decent background in science. I'm astute at reading and eliminating obvious choices though.

I'm an autodidact; a self-learner. I also like a challenge. I put of studying, somewhat purposely until Friday night. I planned on studying nearly non-stop for the Biology CLEP Monday morning. I figured with random guessing I would get 20% questions right (on average). Only requiring me to know about 40% to provide myself with a decent window to pass this exam.

I'm a getting a bit more nervous as the time goes on, so I'm asking for advice from people that have taken the exam or other science CLEPs.

1. I saw on here a previous post about lab questions, and that they threw off many test-takers. Does anyone know where I could see some GOOD examples of these/their prevalence on the test?

2. Anything to STRONGLY focus on? (I have the list of topics, of course)

3. Would it be better to get a rough understanding of all subject matter, or to focus more deeply on topics I can get to/more important ones?? I've been reading the questions can be a bit specific.

4. How do the questions of the biology CLEP compare to the ones on this site? I took a practice test cold and score about 83%. CLEP Biology Practice Exam - Free Test Prep and Review at PracticeQuiz.com

THANK YOU
