4 weeks or bust - Science - studenttoday - 11-22-2009
Hello All,
I am on an avid search for ways to study for AND pass Natural Sciences in 4 weeks...Any suggestions? I've got a 12 hour car ride this week; any good podcasts?
Also, has anyone else passed this test in such a short amount of time? I'm a little nervous because there are no flash cards. I have the CLEP 09 book, but other than that, I've just been browsing "specific exam feedback"
Thanks!!!!

The REA book - you WILL NOT fail!

do you think the "general" book would be sufficient? It includes natural sciences or?

I passed Natural Scienes in six weeks with these resources. I could have definitely done it faster if I had had more study time during each day.
REA Natural Sciences
Biology Demystified
Chemistry Demystified
Learner.org Microbiology videos
Learner.org World of Chemistry videos.
I know there are some webcasts of college biology courses out there, but they weren't really helpful to me.
And take a Petersen's practice test and a couple of the REA tests. It will help you gauge whether or not you are ready.
Good luck!

Thanks,
I found that book after I posted my reply...lol...oops...Gonna try to purchase it tomorrow...
In your HONEST opinion, do you think an hour or hour and a half every day for 4 weeks will be enough???
Is this test more recall than anything, or some solving?

Well, everyone learns differently, and I am not a science person, but I studied 2-3hours 4-5 days a week for 6 weeks. If you've had education in science before, it will probably be easier, I just didn't have very much knowledge of the subject. The test isn't really solving problems (there are a couple chemistry formula/reaction questions), just remembering a ton of facts. I was sure I would fail, but got a 54, so I was super relieved!
Good luck!

Shoto why don't you think the General book is enough? It's the one I'm using so I was just curious. Does this one contain more material?
