I used the Calihan REA book to prepare for the CLEP Natural Science exam, in which I scored a 72 with two weeks of intensive study. If you have some science knowledge the book is great on its own -- highly recommended. If you are more of a beginner, you may want some additional sources, such as Idiot's Guides, to go with it.Bad news: the included testware wouldn't install on my PC, so I went without it. There doesn't seem to be a diskless version of the book. I originally ordered the diskless version from , under super saver shipping. later canceled my order ('disappeared it' without a word would be more accurate) when they withdrew the diskless version's page, so I had to pay shipping to get the more expensive version with testware that I couldn't use. So the 4 stars are for the book; gets minus stars on this order.
Good quality book and CD for loading test prep materials. I studied really, really hard. I took the test and about 75 percent of the test given was not on material covered in this book. I am pretty sure there are warnings within the book regarding that possibility. I did not pass my test. I felt so smart after I studied the materials in this book and took the practice test, and studied some more. Then when I took the test the computer selected for me, there was so much material in the questions that were not covered in my book - I felt dumb. This is a huge subject, Natural Science - and it would be a challenge for any company to guarantee positive results to any student who tried to CLEP in these categories. Take the class, I did and came away with an 'A'.
I highly recommend this book. I followed the study guidelines and passed the exam in 30 days. I have worked in the medical field for over 25 years and you forget specific details of basic biology, chemistry, evolution, etc. The information in this study guide is clear and concise and the practice exams give you detailed explanations for the answers; why one answer is right and the others are wrong. Money well spent.
I definitely recommend this book for this exam. I was really worried because there was so much information to absorb. I studied for about a month and passed with a 71.For those not familiar with the ACE requirements, generally colleges only require a score of 50 for full credit. The CLEP scale is from 20-80. [...]Double check with the college that you're planning on applying CLEP credit for! Different institutions have different policies regarding CLEP/DANTES credits. You don't want to waste time/money on a test they might not accept. You also want to go ahead and have the school code ready. Requesting the scores to be sent to the institution later costs $30 per request.That being said, I'm shopping right now for more books in this series to knock-out more of my General Education and General Elective Requirements. :)
Great book. I passed 5 CLEP exams thanks to REA books. Love love love the cd. The score you get are very similar to what you will get on the real exam. The material for the actual exam is far too extensive for any one book to cover. But I passed using just this one book and I am not a science student...
This book has alot of information regarding Natural Sciences, however; this is a very broad, deep topic so this book can't possibly cover everything you may encounter on the CLEP test. I did study this book in preparation for the Natural Sciences CLEP and I would estimate that this book helped me to answer about 50% of the questions on the CLEP. Not that bad! The other half was not reviewed in this book and I read this book cover to cover so I should know! I did pass with a score of 55 (50 needed to pass) so I was pleased with this book for the most part. However, for future CLEP Natural Sciences test takers be sure to reference other materials as well. You will need all the study time you can get to pass this test. The hardest test I have ever taken but it is passable...if you study!
These clep review books are hit or miss depending on which one you get. If you know nothing of the natural sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, etc...) do yourself a favor and get a real college text covering each topic on the clep exam from one of those used college text websites (you can probably get one for each topic of a previous edition and it might turn out to be cheaper than this). The only thing this book is good for is to get an idea of some of the questions on the clep natural science test. The "review" section of the book is a complete mess. It is either to advanced requiring you to go to other sources to get pre-requisite info, or to simple not giving you enough info. It jumps all over the place, with no order whatsover.If you just want some practice tests and sample questions, or if you want to review stuff that you learned years ago in high school then you can buy this. Otherwise I suggest you pass.
I used this test book to help me study for the test. I did very well on all of the practice tests. I know that each test is going to be different but hardly any of the info that was on the test was in the book.
