Hi Everyone,
I am looking to take the Biology CLEP Exam. This is the last Gen Ed I need to graduate with my associates thru my local community college. I just wanted to ask for some recommendations?
I was doing some mild research and saw the Modern States Biology Clep Prep and a 2 hour long Monitrix Biology CLep Study video.
Anyone recommend any other study tips and resources I should use?
Thank you!!

I used a mix of ModernStates, InstantCert, Quizlet, and Peterson's practice tests for CLEP exams.
If you can score 70% on the practice test, then you are ready for the exam and should have a 90%+ chance of passing.
Degrees: BA Computer Science, BS Business Administration with a concentration in CIS, AS Natural Science & Math, TESU. 4.0 GPA 2022.
Course Experience: CLEP, Instantcert, Sophia.org, Study.com, Straighterline.com, Onlinedegree.org, Saylor.org, Csmlearn.com, and TEL Learning.
Certifications: W3Schools PHP, Google IT Support, Google Digital Marketing, Google Project Management

Used same resources others suggested. For Peterson's practice exams, check your local library system for access . Might have to ask at reference desk for info. and our library system had some REA guides for CLEP.
TESU: BALS June 2021 (comm college, clep, sdc sophia coopersmith, SOS110, and capstone)

Signed up for InstantCert! Seems pretty fundamental. Modern states seems pretty straight forward.

@GoBroncos95, Which community college and degree are you going for at the Associates level? Are you missing a science class for that degree and that's it?

I highly recommend using the Modern States for the Free Clep voucher. For studying for the Biology Clep, I preferred the Crash Course series on YouTube. It makes it a much more enjoyable learning experience. Between those 2, it should get you enough information to pass the exam. If you had been going for a more science heavy bachelors/masters, there would be other paths I would suggest, but for your listed goal, this is perfect. If you need to add the Labs on afterwards, I am attending Luna Community College online for just the Bio 2 Lab for about $90 after all fees.

Actually, since you mentioned Natural Science, it may be slightly 'easier' than the Biology CLEP. Even though both are rated a 3 and possibly worth 6 credits, Natural Science is in the middle of the pack, but Biology is dead last (hardest). I think the Natural Science is primarily Biology with 1/3 or so Chem and/or other sciences combined. Link: http://www.free-clep-prep.com/clep-difficulty-list.html
