CLEP biology and natural sciences

I recently took CLEP Biology and passed on my first try with a 56. It was my first CLEP period, and Biology is NOT a good subject for me.
I'll tell you right now, this one is hard, it has more material to cover than about any other CLEP. Here is what I used: InstantCert Flashcards - Learn them. Love them. Peterson Tests - It's $20 but worth it. Save this until the end as you only get to do three of them for the money, so get the most out of them. I had multiple questions on my CLEP that came DIRECTLY from these. CLEP Official Study Guide - Worth every penny as it also gives a good idea of the variety of questionns. I had three that came directly from this too. KhanAcademy - Sal Khan does great work. His videos are a little slow to get to the point some times but he's a great teacher. And it's totally free. These are really good for a lot of the DNA and atomic stuff. Wikipedia- There are numerous sites with links to different subjects there, so use that too to fill in any blanks.
I haven't taken the Natural Sciences CLEP but I have taken and passed the Biology CLEP with a 65. I dislike Biology, but the test is very doable with the right amount of study. Keep in mind that the Peterson tests are harder then the real thing and that the REA are slightly easier.
Useful Websites: Official Study Recommendations: The CollegeBoard The Biology CLEP | Resources Free Study Guide: Free CLEP Prep Biology CLEP - Free study guide! - Free-Clep-Prep.com Free full length Practice Test: Free CLEP Prep PT for the Biology CLEP Free Video explanation of topics: Khan Academy Biology | Khan Academy Free Online Book: (actually recommended by the collegeboard) An On-Line Biology Book Wikipedia: CLEP3705’s list of wikipedia links List of Wikipedia Biology links And I attached a slightly updated version of the Biology feedback from the IC members.

Study the links in the above post and focus on the info in the Biology Book. Also, you'll want to take the Biology PT... as many as possible. What resources are you using to prepare?

Presently I am using REA to complete the stuff from it. And planning to take PT from REA and peterson's on monday. Thank you so much publius and westerner for your advise. Hope after this reply of mine you will be able to guide me better. Thanks.
