Natural Science CLEP questions

[Kelsey]

I just finished taking this CLEP! I passed it with a 56 and not being strong in Science and never taking Chemistry or Physics I was completely happy I used the REA book with tests only (it had no study material), Barron's test, Peterson's free online tests, Cracking the Clep practice test, and Official Clep study guide! I tried to get my hands on everything that I thought would help me out! I studied using some high-school texts and also Chem4kids and Physics4kids online sites. These really helped me with the Chem and physics! CLEP Official study guide and Cracking the CLEP helped me out the most. I wouldn't suggest using the Peterson's tests! These were really difficult and just made me discouraged with the hard material. REA test were also really good!

There were several questions over some of the Elements that you wouldn't get right if you didn't have them memorized. There were also some over the different categories like "what makes metal a good conductor?" and others about the Halogens, Noble Gases, etc. There were questions on ATP, Mitochondria, and Ribosomes. Protein questions. "When DNA separates to make another identical strand, what bonds to each side?" A few questions over the planets and the what's in the solar system--asteroids, pick the item that has the largest mass, which planet is closest to the sun?? There were several questions over HIV. Oogenesis and what happens with estrogen and different hormones during pregnancy. Couple Punnett square questions. How gene for Rh affects the child, either through the mother or the father. Sickle cell anemia. Bilateral Symmetry. Pick which group displays convergent evolution! There were a few questions over Meiosis and Mitosis but not the steps to the process just the end result of each! Some graph questions that were really easy and took no understanding of info. to answer.

And that's about all I can remember!! Hope this helps someone! God Bless ~kelsey
