The material in this book is a little too general to really prepare someone for the test without additional materials. I don't mind this as much as I mind the terrible customer service from R.E.A. This book is supposed to come with 'Online Practice Exams.' The code at the back of this digital edition did not work to allow me access to them. I sent an email nearly a week ago, and I have not heard anything back from them acknowledging that I've had an issue. What a waste of money. The vague material is NOT worth 25 dollars without the practice tests. BUYER BEWARE!
read the book cover to cover, took both practice exams and did really well on themthe actual CLEP DOES NOT cover the material in the book. At no time during the CLEP exam did I think "oh, i studied that!". A lot of the test material was more advanced and the format of the exams were different.I would buy a different book with slightly more advanced material and a better chemistry section.
Just to temper the fanatical five star reviews, I would suggest not to use this as your only source. I complemented it with the AP Biology book. The AP biology goes into more depth, which you will need - maybe throw in some Khan Academy videos too. In addition, don't consider yourself prepared if you're passing the two, included, REA tests with 100%.Perhaps you could pass the CLEP Biolgy with the bare minimum score using only this book, but I wouldn't bet on it.
The book and practice tests are a great direction for how the test really is, just not as detailed. I grouped this, Biology Smart, and CliffNotes AP Biology together. Every time I got a question wrong on a practice test I looked it up in the Biological Science 11th Edition Textbook. I also had some knowledge from taking Anatomy and Physiology. Walked away with a 63/80.
This CLEP prep book was really helpful, but it was not the only source I used. I used this book with a combination of other resources like DIVE, Instantcert, online videos, and Baron's AP bio book. I also spent about a month preparing for the CLEP exam (about 1-2 hours a day & extensive studying the weekend before I took it). I was able to pass with a 53. I had similar scores with the practice tests that REA provided. I also reviewed my answers to make sure I understood the material. REA's CLEP biology book was a very helpful resource, and the practice tests helped a lot. One thing that this book did not cover as much as were the charts/graphs/case studies that were on the CLEP. Also, make sure to understand concepts, not just definitions. Good luck! :)
Good study guide. Fast read. On-line test scores coincided closely with my daughters actual CLEP scores which were well above what she needed to pass. The sample test feedback allowed her to identify weak areas for focused study. She estimates 6-8 hours total study time including reading the book, taking tests, and then doing more focused study on a couple of weak areas. She thinks she was much less likely to pass without this study system. It should be noted that her sample test scores were very close to her actual CLEP test scores so the sample tests appear to be accurately predictive of how one will score on the CLEP. My only suggestion would be that a couple more sample tests be added for those who require more study time to allow testing for improvement.
I used this study guide and a few Youtube videos to prepare for the CLEP Biology exam. I spent about 4 weeks studying, but I was ready at about 3 weeks. I passed with a 68 (CLEP uses a 20-80 grading scale with 50 being the passing score). I highly recommend that you take and review the practice tests. Those helped me narrow my studying and figure out what I didn't have a grasp on.
overall the material in the book was good preparation for the test. The practices tests were, however, not the same format as the actual test. The book encourages one to take the practice tests on REA's website so that one can familiarize one's self with the format of the actual test. Also there were several technical difficulties with the online tests. There were loads of errors in the diagnostic test. but each of the practice tests had only one error that I noticed. The first practice test had one question which I selected the right answer but the test said I got the wrong answer (however the explanation of why the answer was wrong said my answer was right). The second test had one question which the only had 4 possible choices instead of 5, the 5th missing answer was the correct one. there were four or five questions with no answers to select. I would not recommend this product, however, I did pass the test using this as my only study guide, so I would not consider the product a total waste.
