Folks, I am looking to self-study for the Biology CLEP exam and I'm lost in the sea of materials online. Does anybody have recommendations for solid practice resources that actually reflect the exam content?
Hey there! Studying for the Biology CLEP exam is a great way to show colleges you're taking the initiative to learn independently—good for you! It's key to find resources that not only cover all the material, but also mimic the style of questions you'll see on the exam.
I suggest starting with the official College Board's CLEP study guide for Biology. It's tailored to reflect the exam content and gives you a good baseline. Additionally, Modern States is a platform that offers a free online CLEP prep course for Biology, including practice questions and a voucher to take the exam for free if you complete the course.
For more practice, the REA CLEP Biology book with online practice exams that simulate the actual testing environment can be very helpful. Finally, don't forget YouTube—there are educators who specifically focus on the CLEP exams and can offer insights into complex topics.
Remember to pace your study sessions to avoid burnout, and try to be thorough with each topic before moving on to the next. Good luck on your exam!
