Biology Clep for dummies - safiya95 - 06-29-2014
I passed the Biology clep on 6/27/14 the test was extremely hard for me even though I studied for a month. I am not as smart as half the people on here who can take clep tests after studying for 2 days. I actually have to work harder than most people and I still barely make it so I decided to make a clep study guide for dummies (not really calling anyone a dummy though).
So here are the resources I used and some stuff I wish I would have known before the test:
1) Read pretty much the entire book or just use it to help you understand things you dont-

2)This guy on youtube is awesome he really breaks down everything-

3) There are plenty of free study vocab on quizlet

I specifically like to buy index cards and write each word and study all of them I usually do about 300 cards
