The Best Test Prep for the Clep Biology (Test Preps)

Rating:
Summary: Complete waste Of Money
Review: I bought this book after reading such great reviews about the REA study guides in many other subjects. I studied this book inside and out for six weeks, and was able to answer every question of the three practice tests when I took the CLEP Biology on 9/18/04. Imagine my surprise when I did not recognize ANY terms on the CLEP. It is nothing like what is in this book, and I am totally shocked that they even publish this as a CLEP Biology prep. This was a complete waste of literally hours of my time. So disapointing because I intended to take this to SAVE time and money, not waste it.
Maybe there are better guides out there for the CLEP Biolgy, but this is not one of them, so do not waste your time like me.

Summary: Excellent for clep biology
Review: I found this book to be a very good review for clep biology. I found this is a quicker way to get college credit than taking biology in college. The book is well-written and quite informative. I also studied the following:
The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations
(Topics:Organization of Living Things & Chemistry of Life, Structure and Function of the Cell and Energy Pathways, Reproduction and Heredity, Genetics) Volume 1

The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations
(Topics: Evolution, Ecology, Kingdom Bacteria, Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Fungi, Viruses, Plant Form and Function) Volume 2

The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations
(Topics: Kingdom Animalia, Organization of the Animal Body, Animal Form and Function, Animal Reproduction, Development and Behavior) Volume 3

These last three books had great test-prepartion questions for the biology clep. These four books helped me pass with ease.

Summary: The Best Test Preparation for The Clep Biology
Review: I recently took the Biology Clep Exam (November 2) and scored a 48 (50 needed to pass). I studied for 2 months. I knew this book in and out -- the Sample Prep Tests 1-3 and the reasons why the other answer selections were not correct. However, I do believe you need to study another Biology book -- I felt maybe a handful of questions were questions I recalled from the Clep Study Guide and the others were foreign to me -- you really had to know your biology to answer these questions (i.e., quite a few case scenarios with charts and graphs). Good Luck!
