You cannot in high school or by studying for CLEP or even AP learn science like you can at a large university that has well-supplied science laboratories. You have stated that you want to go into finance. Do you think science courses are sort of like general education courses for you, something you have to do to get the degree you want?
Think about this. Let's say you want to work in finance. Okay, good. Would you like to work in the finance department of a company curing cancer by building mRNA from scratch custom tailored for a person's genome? Think your CLEP chemistry and biology are good enough? Don't shortchange yourself. Go to a university and learn things from experience working with experts, which is consistent with dfrecore's great advice.
I'm pretty sure when you're getting hired in a finance company (any finance company), that they don't care if you took lab science courses. They want a BSBA and an MBA (generally), and won't spend 5 seconds looking at your science courses.
Just my opinion. I could be wrong.
