I'm trying to graduate from local cc by December. I need six hour minimum sequence natural science. (failed biology clep), they won't take natural science clep. I have enrolled in LSU bio 1001 -3 hours and already pulling hair out. Its not the material, it is the time required to complete each lesson. So far I have done three out of the 18, plus mid term and final are both 200 questions. This reminds me of my hardest natural science class at UTK Phy and Anatomy when I was a nursing major, but at least there I did have resources available for visual learning. We worked on actual humans in lab, not pictures. Here everything is combined, organic chemistry, environmental science, biology, zoology, and the amount of required memorization on terms alone is ridiculous. I'm not afraid of a hard course, but just don't want to expend this much time and effort on one part only of a two part requirement. Anyone have some alternative ideas. Thanks in advance. Clovis Community College has only one general ed biology, so that won't help. Anyone know if they are on quarter instead of semester system, appeared to me that they are? My local school is semester based.

How long ago did you take the Biology CLEP? To recently to wait for the six months to expire? If not, you could finish this first course and take the CLEP after, particularly if you were close to passing before.

I do not know if this will be of help or not but I am currently attending Ashford University online. Each undergraduate class is five weeks in length. I, too, will eventually need a science and am trying to decide if I should take the CLEP test for Biology, Chemistry, or Natural Science or just take their SCI 207 class called Physical Science. Based upon the various feedback on the CLEP test that I have been reading, I will probably try the Natural Science test but, it is reassuring that a five week class is available as backup for me. You might want to see if their class would be sufficient for your circumstances. If so, five weeks can go by really fast. Just a thought.
