If you do not have to specifically take the Natural Science clep, might I suggest taking the Astronomy DANTES/DSST exam.
I received 3 units of Natural Science credit for it.

I studied some free sparknotes online for 2 1/2 hours the night before and passed with a scaled score of 56 which translated into an "A" grade at Excelsior. There is no instantcert study guide on this one yet.

Very simple exam in my opinion. An easy A. Be advised that when I had completed the exam I thought I had surely failed, but alas I had passed with flying colors.

Good luck.
