hey guys! i took the bio clep today and passed with a 60!!! 
things i studied:
-IC note cards (i went through them ALL until i knew every one of them. I did this by section so i would to one section make sure i know that then move on to the next section..so really i only went over it once i suppose?)
-REA book: this was pretty helpful and it covered pretty much any topic that was on the actual CLEP, no surprises.
-AP bio cliff notes: i used this mostly as an extra if i needed more detail on certain things like mitosis or meiosis etc.
-peterson's practice tests AND the official clep study guide that you can buy for $10 practice test (REALLY helpful)
the test wasn't too bad...the comments on here scared me but it wasn't as bad as these people said. its a TON of information, but that's a given considering its a tough subject like biology. the feedback exam posts were very helpful as well. some questions were even on the real clep that some of these people have posted. some of the questions are pretty straight foward like "where does glycolysis take place" but the other half are graphs and thinking questions that you can easily get correct if you know the terms. that's pretty much all i can think of. i don't remember too many questions because there was 115 of them lol if anyone has any questions feel free to message me! good luck to everyone!
