The Natural Sciences CLEP was a no-go for me - I got a 49 - but then again, I've never been very scientific-minded. I found that test to be quite difficult, perhaps it's because I didn't study long enough, I'm not exactly sure why. One of the topics on the test that was particulary hard for me was the Physics section that included physics and chemistry notation that I found incomprehensible. I obviously breezed through the physics and chemistry portions of my book without really taking the time to learn those formulas, notation, and types of equations.
So while most of the test was just me not understanding, I would highly recommend that you study up on areas you don't understand well (or at all). Get someone who knows what they're doing to help you out. Score at least a 65% on the Peterson's test if you want to pass the real thing. I found the actual CLEP to be much more difficult that the Peterson's exam.
