Thank you EVERYONE for your answers. I am not planning to clep chemistry and I plan on studying bio for a month. I am still even considering not clep ping biology. The thing is I had micro in my first and second year of nursing school (but not a micro "course") I also signed up for Excelsiors micro exam bought it (expired 7/14) and everything but never tested because I lost my job and my driving privileges(Last yr). I completed the outline and the practice tests with the recommended text.
Since i have a bio degree i actually do want to take it seriously and take a course. Is it stupid to take a clep and then take an online bio degree thru ocean over the summer? I'm still not gonna be driving until maybe march. I cant commit To taking A course at cc Right now with no reliable transportation
I have a lot of free time at my job to study and also 4 days off/wk. I don't want to take the Gen eds at a cc. I know I can pads them all I just wasn't sure how long I have to study
