    Awesome study help for the Natural Science CLEP. I need to start studying for this test - what resources did you use to study? Did you study the Biology section from IC? The Natural Science CLEP is the last thing I need to finish, any advice would be great.

    So IC is enough to pass. I don't doubt it. But is it enough to pass with a good clep score in the 70-80 range?

    I think very few of our subjects are good for a 70-80 score range for the average tester. The good news is, I have seen some posts on here that point at some pretty specific topics you can look up on wikipedia or simply google to help you to achieve that score on D&A.

    You don't need anything in the 70-80 range. It is always nice, but entirely unnecessary. Usually, a score in the upper 50's will get you an A grade.

    I posted some practice exam links when I took it. Try a search on Drugs and Alcohol. If not, let me know and I'll try to find it for you.

    Thanks, I'll go look for those practice links. I'm an Lpn and work in a facilty that deals with a pt population that has drug and/or psychiatric problems. Like someone said a score of 50 is enough.....but I would feel disappointed in myself if I didn't get a higher score since I work in an environment that deals with this topic on a day to day basis.
