Excited to be studying for CLEPs again!

I'm very excited to be studying for my Natural Science/Math degree number 2 from TESC.
I have the REA Nat Sci book and Biology book and am reading the nat sci book first and running through the speedyprep.com questions. I have at least 8 hours of studying into this test already and its starting to sink in. I haven't taken a science class since 1998 so this material is in my head but very foggy.

I think I'm going to do nat sci for 6 cr, biology for 6cr and we will see what I do after that. I might take the TESC 6cr upper level science class and then 6 more credits to complete the minimum 24cr additional credit requirement.

Congrats on the second program!!! Just a few thoughts come to mind -

Talk to an adviser/registrar to make sure you are clear on the area in which the 24 credits are required. If the NEW credits are required in the area of concentration the bio clep will be of no use as you are allowed only 6 100 level credits in this area.

Also, since you are actually a 2010-2011 (?) enrolled student and you've already switched over to the new program prior to the 2011 catalog effective date (I think its July but don't quote me) check if you actually need 18 or 24 new credits since this is a BA degree.

So you could then use:

6 cr TESC global environmental change
3 cr DSST and Humanity: The Race to Save the Planet
6 cr CLEP Natural Sciences

I'm sure you have plenty of 300 level nat sci credit from your CIS coursework so here's a suggestion, you could split the remaining credit needed between SL's Calculus I/II (MAT 200 level) and or the Anatomy & Physiology I/II (BIO 200 level). Or there may be additional computer courses you can add on..PF probably has more offerings.

I'm hoping Linda comes by and will most likely have a better plan of action since this is in her wheelhouse.

Have fun!!
