wish I had seen this thread earlier
my time between taking biology in high school and taking the biology CLEP was 30 years LOL
I too was a little concerned because it had been so long (but I loved bio in high school and I always watch all the NOVA and PBS shows on bio so things hadn't completely slipped my mind)
I bought this book from a local Barnes & Noble
https://www.amazon.com/Biology-Made-Simp...ade+simple
because it was short and inexpensive
I read it through a couple of times
and I passed the CLEP easily
the book did not cover everything
there was some stuff about the "veins" of plants it did not cover
and it didn't go into enough detail about the classification of kingdom / family / genus and all that
but even after 30 years I actually remembered enough to answer every question confidently with time left over
I actually thought CLEP bio was one of the easier exams I've taken
my advice ....
don't sweat it
you did well in school
you'll do well on the CLEP
