I am planning on taking the Chemistry CLEP in a couple of weeks. My question for anyone who has takent his is if a periodic table is available during the test and if so is it complete. Trying to figure out if I need to memorize this. Thanks for any help.

I was concerned about this too, so I made sure to post some information in my feedback here (part 2):

"Periodic Table â I had read a tip that they donât always give the full periodic table during the test, but during the pre-test, they show one that you can sketch out on scratch paper. Another idea was to note an early question that does show the whole table. I used both ideas. It is possible, though, that I needed neither because when I checked their table on about 5 questions during the test, it was always complete with atomic symbol, number, and weight for each element. They often give molar mass in the problem, but did not give any formulas."
Best wishes on your exam!

I took this test this past Saturday and they did have a full periodic table with atomic number and mass included. It was available to look at for every question which was great because otherwise I don't know what I would have done. Good luck with this test, it's a hard one but you can do it. I barely passed with a 50 but I only studied for 3 weeks.

Nicely done, Sarah. I felt the same way about American Literature; fortunately a pass is most definitely a pass with CLEPs
Fingers crossed for your GRE results here, NAP.
