Did you check the specific exam feedback? Most of us usually like the REA books. i also like Cliff and idiot books for some of the science info. Have you ever had a chemistry course? It might be hard to teach yourself some of these concepts from scratch.

OK I have not taken this CLEP, but I would think important concepts to know and understand are: Balancing equations, major families on the periodic table including chemical symbols for those, atomic rings, pH ranges 1 is most acidic 14 is most basic and 7 is neutral. Understand photosynthesis, chemical families, salts, alcohols etc. Also types of chemical bonds, simple metric equivalents, basics of naming compounds and the differences and similarities of the different states of matter. Any basic chemistry text should cover these things well enough. Petersons does have a practice test for this and I would recommend you try those along the way. Good Luck I have 18 old chemistry credits from CC but I would not want to have to take this now.
