I am scheduled to take the CLEP Bio at the end of July but today I found out I don't necessarily need it because the DSST Environment and Humanity will cover my science and global understanding requirement.
Should I cancel the test and forefeit the 30 dollar registration fee and take 2 or 3 easier exams to make up for the credits or just go for it? I know nothing about biology so I would have to learn it all.

Why forfeit the $$$?? Bio is doable and is SIX BIG CREDITS on one exam. How about a combination of the Bio exam and some "easier" ones too?

You have two months to learn the material. That's almost as much time as a normal B&M class would run anyway. Take it.

This $30 fee, is the fee the testing site charges...because they might let you change the exam....call and ask. (I have done this) remember you don't pick your exam until the actual day of testing. The testing site just want their money upfront. (hope I didn't misunderstand the question)
