Failed Natural Science Clep today - All I could do is cry!

[jackzack87]

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. IMO, the Natural Science CLEP was one of those tests that was poorly gauged by the practice exams. When I prepped for it I was scoring in the 60s in both REA and Peterson's practice tests, but just barely got a passing score on the real thing.

Others have already given some good advice, and it sounds like you know what options are open to you at your school. Good luck with whatever you decide!

I found NS to be a funky one also...I've done pretty good with Anatomy & Physiology and also taken Chem...I scored 56 but thought I should have done better in a score. The test also had some questions that were totally unrelated to what I had studied for (via instantcert, dummys' Chem and my old A&P book).

To the writer; if you need 6 credits, CHem would be the best way, although I've heard its tough. Psych would be a easier one, but that's only 3. Check into DSST exams, see if maybe Educational Psych and CLEP psych, together, would make up the difference.
