    Default Tips for Biology Test?

    I will be taking the Biology CLEP exam on Saturday... I've been working with the InstaCert flashcards for a while; I took them all two or three times. Just wondered if those of you who have taken the Bio CLEP or any CLEP test in general could share some tips with me? I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks!
    -Cameron

    Bio is what I would describe as a very FULL exam; six BIG credits in all and one should not go into it (or any exam) unprepared.

    Aside from IC I would suggest the REA book and SD video.

    Good Luck!

    Biology was my first clep and i was so scared starting with it.. read the guide in the exam section...

    I used:
    1) Biology smart as a warm up
    2) Cracking AP biology is amazing
    3) IC
    4) Peterson`s exams

    keep in mind if you have to take natural science too, make it straight after Biology.
    Good luck

    Edit: for now see how good you are with the peterson`s exams..
