Do you think Ill have better luck with natural science giving the amount of time i have to study?


Thanks for all you responses, I know that there are threads and I assure to you I have looked through them all. Just wanted to get more recent responses.


Back to the thread.....

The Clep Bio exam is a BIG exam as Bio is a pretty deep subject and the material is also pretty wide. As such I would say that 1 week of study may not be prudent and 2 weeks just a bit better. The Clep NS exam is a Bio-based exam (50% bio) so it is usually better to tackle the bio exam before trying the NS exam.

Good Luck either way you decide!

Pre-Study-Prep: Obtain or set up whatever materials I will need to study (IC Flashcards, REA Books, Standard Deviants Videos, Pass-Your-Class Guides, and Petersons Practice Exams.

Week One: Begin to read books, review flashcards, watch videos. Call your test center and make an appointment in advance as they sometimes require a few weeks advance notice)

Week Two: Re-read books, review flashcards, watch videos Take 1-2 practice exams

Week Three: Continue to review all materials, take additional/final practice exams. You should be passing these with room to spare. Take real exam at end of the week and PASS.

Note you should have at this point already acquired pre-study-prep materials for your next exam so as not to waste time.[/COLOR]

I'm also preparing for Biology. Given the depth of the subject I plan to study for at least four weeks, which is not too bad considering that it's 6 credits. This book plus IC and some lectures from iTunes U should be more than enough.
