I just took my first CLEP test today and passed! I got 68 on the Biology exam.
To all you mom's out there: I've been out of college for 8 years, have three little kids and one on the way...if I can do it so can you!
I spent about an hour studying per day for 3 months.
I used a bio text book, Khan academy videos, IC flash cards, Peterson's practice tests and the college board study guide. In hindsight I definitely over prepared (the real CLEP is easier than the Peterson's!) but I didn't know what to expect...better safe than sorry!

Congrats on your passing the exam and also having such a great score. It is very hard studying and taking care of small children but you did a great job not letting that hold you back.
