Summary: Pathetic
Review: I passed the test by a decent margin, no thanks to this book. I read through the book several times, took the practice questions and exams, and when I felt I knew the material well enough I took the CLEP. I was startled at how much material there was in the CLEP that was not even touched upon by the book. I was able to answer a handful of questions correctly because of the book, but the rest I had to rely on common sense and what I remember from high school science classes.If you do get this book anyway (the other people who have reviewed the book seemed to have liked it), make sure you read EVERYTHING -- the practice tests contain material not covered in the rest of the book so every little bit helps. My kid can draw better than the artists who illustrated the book, so just ignore them. I don't remember a single instance where I needed to recall one of the illustrations.

Summary: it's ok........
Review: i wouldn't be able to pass by using this book alone. i used the plato computer programs at the navy college, and a book which specifies in all the sciences. when my time was up, i had about 30 blanks. amazingly, i substantially passed w/ a 490. w/ the subject still fresh in my brain, i took the biology clep exam 4 days later, again scoring substantially high w/ a 51. it definitely helps to keep answers blank if you're not sure. i suggest looking at the outlines for both exams and getting your study material from there.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: The practice exam was Ok but the text did not help answer the questions that were on the actual exam. I had to buy another book to find out about the more difficult questions. The illustrations were vague and their was minimal preparatory value.
