Question Re the CLEP Natural Sciences Exam
#1
Question for those who have taken the CLEP Natural Sciences exam: Petersen's has the CLEP Natural Science exam split into two separately timed sections, Biology and Physics etc. Is the actual CLEP organized in this fashion, with the time limits being a set 45 minutes each?

For example, say I'm great at Bio and finish the 60 Bio questions in just 20 minutes, leaving me with an extra 25 minutes on that section. Does the actual CLEP allow me to add those extra 25 minutes to the Physics, etc section, or do my 'extra' 25 minutes from Bio just disappear and leave me with just 45 minutes to finish the 60 questions on the Physics, etc section?

Any clarification you can offer on this would be greatly appreciated - my expected study time will differ if I'm just going to have 45 minutes on the test for what I'm less expert in, rather than being able to 'bank' some extra time from what I'm better in...

I have taken the actual Natural Sciences CLEP. The test is not broken down into any such sections as you described. You have ninety minutes for the test and all of the biology and physics questions are mixed up together.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very, very much! It is a great releif to me that they're all lumped into 90 minutes rather than separately timed! Thank you again!
