I had a false sense of security with REA Bio because I had passed a few other CLEPs using REA. The second time I added instacert and Biology24 videos. Instacert helped me to remember and understand the vocabulary better and Bio24 videos helped me to understand entire processes and relationships of systems.
I had the exact same experience when I took it. I was sure I would be fine, I was getting mid-60's on the REA tests, but I only passed the real thing by pure luck :ack: REA covered good material, it just didn't delve deep enough...
