Bombed Biology!!

[sgloer]

Sorry to hear that you failed! You were so close!

Just a couple of things:
1> Make sure you're studying the explanations--not just memorizing the blanks

2> If the test is critical to you, then you may want to supplement. With tough CLEP exams, you'd supplement with the Collegeboard study guide, cause that can usually boost your score a few points. With Dantes, go to http://www.getcollegecredit.com, and on the left-hand side, you'll see a link to their 50-question practice exams. With Biology, 1 extra point was all you needed!

3> Make sure you're using some basic test-taking skills to include:
a) don't leave any questions blank; answer EVERY question
b) don't spend too much time on one question; mark the questions you have trouble with, and do all of the easy ones first and come back to the hard ones later
c) don't second-guess yourself. Usually your instincts will be true, especially with Dantes, where sometimes the answer seems too obvious

Good luck and keep us posted!
