 Rating:  - Good start for your studiesThe book is great review to refresh your mind on the contents. Although if you don't remember much of biology you will definitely need more resources. The book has a great explanation on how the CLEP Test works and how to prepare yourself. For obvious reasons (the book is only a guide), the biology content is extremely concise and short. The most useful part of the book is the practices with explanations including the CD-ROM. I would recommend the book as a good start for your studies. ...

There is another earlier post that has a link to a community college in AZ and that link was very helpful. Rating:  - Do Not Even BotherThe front of the book states: "Based on offical exam questions released by the College Board." Well, that's misleading. I took the exam August 2008; twenty percent of the exam was on material in the book. The front also says: "Target review of all exam topics."

After not touching biology for about 4 years, I studied the subject for 3 weeks before diving in and taking the test. In conjunction with this, I used an old (2003) textbook I bought on Ebay for about $8. At first I read straight through the REA book. Then I took the first test as a diagnostic, then I read relevant material in the text and took the 2nd test. Finally I went and ... Read More Rating: - Good coverage of materialThis guide provided a very good overview of the material for the exam. I used it, in conjunction with Science Terms Made Easy: A Lexicon of Scientific Words and Their Root Language Origins to master vocabulary, and fared very well on the exam. The sample exams give good practice, but I found the level of difficulty to be a bit lower than that of the actual exam. Overall, this is a worthwhile buy.
