If you're taking any excelsior exam, then I highly recommend their practice tests. I don't even bother with textbooks - just google the topics that come up on the practice tests. Consistently gets me As and Bs.
That said, I'll throw in a good word for the Astronomy DSST. I passed it with a high enough score for Excelsior to count it as an A, and all I looked at was the free-clep-prep quick prep sheet. I haven't taken weather and climate but I did take Physical Geography at a b&m, and the weather and climate stuff was challenging for me - it wasn't intuitive, and it was almost entirely new information. By contrast, the Astronomy dsst was mostly stuff I already knew because of enjoying discovery channel and natonal geographic. Ymmv, good luck
