What was your score on the Official CLEP Guide practice exam? I haven't taken the Biology exam myself, but in general, scores on the Official Guide practice exams predict my results on the actual exam pretty well.
More importantly, what are your areas of weakness? Rather than more general study, you should try to identify the specific areas that are causing you trouble, and beef up on them. Then just remember your test-taking principles. CLEP in particular rarely uses deceptive questions, so don't outsmart yourself. Take your time, mark and move on if you're not sure, then come back later for the tougher questions. If you have to guess, try to at least eliminate one or two known wrong answers. You probably know all of this already, but it's good to keep reminding yourself.
You scored a 68 on the Psychology exam... what had you scored on the practice exam for that one?
And how badly do you need a Biology pass? Is it a core requirement for your program?
