Thank you so much
This the CLEP bio exam
https://clep.collegeboard.org/science-an...cs/biology
If your college awards 3 credits- it's only worth credit for Biology 1.
If your college awards 4 credits- it's worth credit for Biology 1 with lab.
If your college awards 6 credits- it's worth credit for Biology 1 & 2 without a lab.
If your college awards 8 credits- it's worth credit for Biology 1 & 2 with lab.
*note* if you already have Bio 1 credit, but this exam is worth 6 or 8 at your college, you may be able to use it. They'll just ignore the first 3 or 4 credits and you get the higher 3 or 4 put on your transcript.
BUT.... you said General Biology, and the word "GENERAL" sometimes means the course is for science majors, and some schools don't consider this exam to count as that specific type of science class. Even if you're not a science major, you may need to take a science designated as such for some majors- nursing might be an example- so.... Go into your college's CLEP policy and see if it lists the credit awarded for the exam. You can use the info above to get an idea of how it might be applied to a program, but email your advisor and ask specifically if the CLEP Biology exam will count for General Biology 2 for YOUR DEGREE. If so, what score do you need.
At that point, you'll be able to move forward! Good luck!
