Awesome study help for the Natural Science CLEP. I need to start studying for this test - what resources did you use to study? Did you study the Biology section from IC? The Natural Science CLEP is the last thing I need to finish, any advice would be great.

So IC is enough to pass. I don't doubt it. But is it enough to pass with a good clep score in the 70-80 range?

I think very few of our subjects are good for a 70-80 score range for the average tester. The good news is, I have seen some posts on here that point at some pretty specific topics you can look up on wikipedia or simply google to help you to achieve that score on D&A.

You don't need anything in the 70-80 range. It is always nice, but entirely unnecessary. Usually, a score in the upper 50's will get you an A grade.

Any insight on the Drug & Alcohol Abuse?

[beckysharp]

I posted some practice exam links when I took it. Try a search on Drugs and Alcohol. If not, let me know and I'll try to find it for you.

[april004]

Thanks, I'll go look for those practice links. I'm an Lpn and work in a facilty that deals with a pt population that has drug and/or psychiatric problems. Like someone said a score of 50 is enough.....but I would feel disappointed in myself if I didn't get a higher score since I work in an environment that deals with this topic on a day to day basis.

I failed this exam twice, I admit that I did not do much prep, it is not a gimme' in my book..... my 2cents!
