I wanted to make this post because when I was studying for CLEP Chemistry, I was CONSTANTLY searching Reddit trying to figure out whether I was cooked or not 😭 So first off, genuinely thank you to this subreddit because a ton of the advice/resources here helped me pass.

Also, there was one Reddit user in particular who sent me a whole bunch of practice tests/resources and genuinely helped me a lot. I completely forgot your username, but if you somehow see this, thank you so much.

For context:

• I was a senior in high school when I took this exam (I've graduated now)
• I took Honors Chem in my sophomore year
• Never took AP Chem
• Needed the CLEP for my associate's degree
• My community college gave 8 science credits for a 50+
• I ended up getting a 58

This exam was honestly one of the most mentally exhausting academic things I've done, so I wanted to make a REALISTIC post because a lot of people either make this exam sound impossible or weirdly easy.

I started studying around March 23–27 and took the exam on April 18. Originally, it was scheduled for April 16 at a testing center, but I had a name issue with the College Board, so I had to reschedule for remote proctoring.

Overall, I studied for around 3 weeks. Would I recommend that? Honestly… probably not 😭 I would HIGHLY recommend 4–5 weeks minimum if you want a healthier experience. 3 weeks is possible, but it was rough.

Even though I had Honors Chem before, I still had to relearn basically EVERYTHING. The good thing is that Honors Chem made the concepts feel familiar, so it didn't feel like starting completely from zero. But CLEP Chemistry covers WAY more than I expected. Literally everything can show up.

I studied basically every day. Probably around 5 actual productive hours per day, but realistically closer to 7–8 hours, including breaks, time on my phone, etc. At the same time, I was balancing dual credit coursework, senior-year assignments, projects, and finals. Burnout was VERY real.

The biggest thing I used was Khan Academy. This genuinely carried me. I completed both the entire Honors Chemistry course AND the AP Chemistry course on Khan Academy. I watched the videos and did all the practice questions. I personally didn't take notes because that's just not how I learn.

One IMPORTANT thing, though: the Khan Academy practice questions are HARDER than the actual CLEP. It's significantly harder sometimes. But honestly, that's a GOOD thing. If you can consistently do Khan Academy questions, you are in really good shape.

I also used the official CLEP practice test, and that was probably the MOST accurate resource. In my opinion:

• slightly easier than the real exam
• but VERY representative

One of the best things I did was take the questions I got wrong, upload them to Gemini, and ask it to generate similar questions/explanations. Gemini was honestly one of the most helpful study tools I used. I'd upload questions, ask for similar ones, ask for explanations of concepts, make practice quizzes, etc.

I also used Peterson's tests, but honestly… overrated in my opinion. At least the version I used (I think it was from 2004). It felt WAY easier than the real exam. Helpful for exposure, but not very representative for me personally.

For Modern States, I ONLY used it for the free voucher. That part was genuinely super helpful because it saved me money on the exam. But outside of that, I honestly didn’t use the course itself much at all. I pretty much just GPT'd in a lot of the questions to finish it faster because I mainly just wanted the voucher. After I got the voucher, I scheduled my exam and mostly focused on Khan Academy and practice tests after that.

I honestly didn’t use a ton of other resources outside of:

• Khan Academy
• official CLEP practice testsPeterson's didn't
• Gemini
• random Reddit resources people shared

One thing I also want to mention: many people recommend using AP Chem practice exams/questions. Personally, I didn't really do that much because I realized AP Chem and CLEP Chem are tested VERY differently. AP Chem is much more in-depth, and the question styles/timing are different. Khan Academy AP Chem content was still SUPER useful for learning concepts, but I didn't spend time grinding official AP Chem FRQs or anything like that.

Some topics I specifically remember seeing a lot:

• periodic trends
• stoichiometry
• molecular geometry
• acids/bases
• electrochemistry
• gas laws
• bonding
• redox
• Conceptual equilibrium question

For the hardest topics, I personally struggled most with:

• molecular geometry
• electrochemistry
• some conceptual/AP Chem-style questions

The exam was WAY more concept-heavy than I expected. People make it sound like it's calculation-heavy, but honestly, maybe only 10–12 of the 75 questions were actual calculations. Most of it was conceptual understanding.

You DO need to memorize:

• formulas
• constants
• periodic trends
• common chemistry rules/concepts

My first practice test was about 10 days before the exam, and I got about 48/80 on Peterson's, which was basically borderline passing. Closer to exam day, I was scoring a little higher, but honestly, I NEVER felt fully ready.

There were genuinely points where I thought:
"Ye, ah, I'm failing this."

I also avoided practice tests sometimes because I was scared to see my actual score. A lot of people do this. But seriously, TAKE THE PRACTICE TESTS ANYWAY. You're probably doing better than you think.

For the actual exam, I did remote proctoring, and they were EXTREMELY strict. I had to clear everything off my desk, literally, remove my SD card, and use my phone as a secondary camera. The setup process took almost an hour. My exam was supposed to start at 2 PM, but I didn't actually start until almost 3 PM.

The first ~15 questions honestly felt okay. I was like:
"Wait… this actually might not be bad."

Then it got WAY harder 😭

There were so many flagged questions where I was genuinely guessing between two answers. At one point, I fully accepted that I failed. I was literally telling myself:
"It's okay, worst case, you just take more classes later."

But during review at the end, I weirdly realized:
"Wait… maybe I actually know more than I think."

One thing that surprised me was that time, honestly; it wasn't as bad as I expected. Also, please practice using the official CLEP calculator beforehand. You can look it up online and access it before exam day. I highly recommend messing around with it and practicing with it because you do NOT want to waste time figuring it out during the actual exam.

Then I submitted.

Saw the 58.

And genuinely felt one of the biggest waves of relief ever 😭

Biggest advice:
PRACTICE QUESTIONS > passive studying.

You NEED to practice a LOT. The final week should be mostly:

• practice tests
• reviewing mistakes
• drilling concepts

Do NOT spend the final week trying to learn huge amounts of new content.

My rough 3-week structure was basically:

Week 1:

• relearn concepts
• Khan Academy
• foundation building

Week 2:

• practice questions
• reinforce weak areas
• applying concepts

Week 3:

• practice tests
• nonstop review
• drilling weak points

One mindset shift that weirdly helped me came from my dad. I'm a business major, so I'll use chemistry a lot in the future. He basically told me:
"You do not need to master chemistry. You need to pass the exam."

That helped me stop obsessing over fully mastering every topic and instead focus on:

• recognizing patterns, understanding common question styles
• drilling practice problems

Not saying memorize everything mindlessly, but brute-force practice genuinely helped me a lot.

Things I WOULD NOT do again:

• I avoided practice tests because I was scared of my score
• Start studying this late
• obsess over tiny details
• Compare myself to AP Chem students online

Would I recommend doing what I did? Probably not 😭 I definitely recommend starting earlier and being more organized than I was.

But if you're reading this stressed out, thinking:
"There's no way I can pass this exam…"

You genuinely can.

It's hard.
It's exhausting.
It's frustrating.

But it IS possible.

Especially if you: Study consistently, and do lots of practice questions

• review mistakes honestly
• Stop avoiding practice tests

And honestly, if I could pass this while balancing senior year, dual credit work, procrastinating half the time, and constantly stressing myself out… You probably can too 😭

Hi! I just passed the chemistry CLEP and wanted to give some pointers and resources for anyone else attempting the "Hardest CLEP exam"

My background: Highschool chem 2 years ago, Gen Chem 1 (Community college) last fall. I did well in both classes but especially well in GenChem where I got a 99% in the course, so a lot of that material did stick with me.

Study Time: 1 Week, 4-8 hours depending on the day, with an average of 6 hours of study per day. If you have taken college chem 1 somewhat recently and understood the material this study plan is probably realistic, if not more study might be required.

To study I used: Peterson's, Chem CLEP studyguide, and modern states. I also watched a few crash course videos. Now, I hear you saying Peterson's and the chem CLEP studyguide cost money! Well...do they?

For Peterson's, you'll want to sign up for gale materials using the library option and typing in "Adams Free Library," voila, you now have access to all gale study materials INCLUDING Peterson's. As for the study guide and several other resources, there's a helpful user called Lex_0407. He previously posted about free resources but it was taken down. He might still be able to help you out if you message him though...who can say 😉

For the test itself I found, to my surprise, the official clep study guide and modern states to be most helpful. Several questions on the study guide and modern states appeared very nearly word for word on my exam! I especially recommend Modern State's experimental chemistry portion, there were several rather simple experimental questions so even a cursory check is worth it. Peterson's was also helpful as it allowed me to memorize by repetition through taking their tests many times over, and a few similar questions did come up.

Overall, I encountered many Net Ionic questions, periodic trends, molecular geometry, experimental chemistry, molarity/dilution, PV=nRT, a few "is it an acid or base questions," properties of halogens/halides, oxidation reduction, solubility and effusion. Overall, slightly/moderately easier than I expected, but I was expecting it to be EXTREMELY hard. I finished all questions (no skips, a couple unsures) with ~15-20 minutes remaining and spent that time looking over my marked questions. I recommend you do not hide the timer as you may let it sneak up on you.

Passed with a 57. Not super high, but I started in mid-January from zero having never taken Chem before. I'll happily take it.

I used a number of different resources. Modern states, also (don't judge me) the For Dummies Chemistry book and workbook. Those were good introductions to the subject but a lot more experience and exposure was needed to get a grasp of the concepts. An awesome resource, Larry Gonick's Cartoon Guide to Chemistry was also very helpful. Despite being essentially a Chemistry comic book it is a very good resource and very readable. Apparently it is required reading in some college Chem courses.

Other than that I made flash cards for some formulas and transformations (atm to torr, celsius to kelvin etc.) and used Youtube a lot. The CLEP study guides were the closest in difficulty as compared to questions on the test.

I spent a lot of time going over those questions and watching youtube videos concerning stuff I didn't understand. My local public library had access to EBSCO Learning Express, which is awesome. You can do two mock tests of the CLEP with the timer and everything. I tried the free Peterson's trial, and took all 3 tests. Those gave me some good experience applying these concepts and explaining wrong answers but I didn't find it worth the subscription $$$.

Test was definitely more conceptual, a lot of equilibrium, acid/base stuff & gas law related questions. Some of the quantitative questions could be solved with a little arithmetic, others were quite rigorous. I finished within the 5 minute mark of the end, so you have to be careful with the timing. Definitely hard, but not impossible.

This worked for me, so I wanted to share how I passed the Chemistry CLEP.

First, do modern states to get the voucher, that's a no brainer.

I personally got the official prep guide with the practice questions.

Then go round up as many practice tests/quizzes you can find pertaining to the information needed for the test.

I took all those to Gemini (chat GPT will work to), uploaded the document, then asked to review the document and create a practice quiz in the style of the practice questions provided. At the end of the quiz it gives you an option to add more questions. and to change the difficulty of the questions. I did that over and over, and then uploaded a new practice test and did it over and over, rinse and repeat. Made questions harder if they were too easy, and easier if they were too hard. If I started to get repetitive questions, I simple asked for more diverse questions, or questions covering additional topics. The answer from AI were not always correct, but I got to the point where I would say "can you verify the answer on number 47," and more often than not I was right and it would correct itself.

That's it. That's all I did, and I passed and will get my Engineering degree. It sounds simple, it was not, I spent two weeks doing this for hours every single night. About 10-12 hours the last 2 days prior to the test. I got to the point where I was answering the toughest questions and getting about 70% of them correct. I was not aiming to be perfect, I was aiming to be good enough, and this worked for me.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to comment or DM. I am happy to share anything I can. Let me be clear, this was an extremely difficult test just due to the shear amount of diverse topics you have to cover, but it's absolutely doable.

Chemistry was the one exam I failed, and also the last CLEP I’m doing (marking 30 credits!). Here’s a guide and I hope this can help some of you!

Please! LMK if you want links to my notes and document of types of questions I encountered on Khan Academy + other Youtube videos. I also have notes I did for Marketing, Biology, Business Law, and US History 1. 

How I studied (for both attempts):

• Khan Academy
• Modern States
• Peterson’s Tests
• Tyler Dewitt, Professor Dave, Organic Chem Tutor on Youtube

My studying was mostly from Khan, units 1-8. I skipped a good amount of topics/lessons if I didn’t see them on the CLEP topic list. Watched videos at 1.75x. Every unit there was at least one topic I skipped. For Unit 8, I only did the first 3 topics. Unit 3, I stopped after the second quiz. For Unit 9, I watched different Youtube videos for electrolysis, entropy, gibbs, and cell energy instead. I didn’t see anything on the actual exam that I had 0 clue on, so skipping these was fine for me. I only got to “Proficient” for the lessons I watched. Didn’t do unit tests. 

Modern States, since there’s organic and nuclear chemistry on there, I’ve seen Modern States recommended for that. I just looked at the slides and took notes on some of the stuff like definitions to radioactivity. I also took notes on their slides about common lab equipment (flask types) and techniques (distillation, titration). Oh and of course their voucher and test reimbursement service too. 

Peterson’s. Really recommend! I got access to the 2 free exams with Adam’s Free Library. Tutorial on how to do this in the sub. Just a level harder than the actual exam. I got 60% on the first one, the night before my exam. I felt it was pretty tough. I got a 65% on my second, 30 minutes before my exam. It felt pretty easy compared to the first, but the questions between versions are pretty similar. Note, this is a very high score compared to other Peterson’s I’ve done. Usually I get 40s to low 50s, but still pass the exams with mid 50s to low 60s. Don’t get down if you get a low score here. Just look through wrong answers. 

Youtube: If I felt I wasn’t getting it from Khan/didn’t want to watch their videos, I would search for the same topic on Youtube. I feel the channels I mentioned are really good. Org Chem Tutor has good practice problems. Professor Dave is good for explaining concepts (especially thermodynamics). Tyler Dewitt walks through problems very well (recommend for ideal gas law problems). 

Changes I made in my 2nd attempt:

I really emphasize doing practice questions. I think this was my downfall on my 1st attempt because I just watched videos, and took notes. I also did not do Peterson’s. So during that exam, I was guessing a lot. My 2nd attempt, I spent a lot of time practicing, and typing out steps to problems I found difficult. Of course also doing Peterson’s before my exam. 

Study Routine:

First, I compiled tips from Reddit. I gave myself a month because of winter break. I don’t think you need that much time at all? I studied for maybe 5 hours a day with my resources (maybe more like 3 if you take away time I was off task). I would get through a unit every other day. Units like kinetics and thermodynamics maybe every 2 days. I got distracted a lot so I think you could get units done a lot quicker than me. 

Everyday I would also make myself review past units. I’d look at the notes and create flashcards for what I wanted to remember. I finished all new material 5 days before my exam. 4 days I was reviewing flashcards and completing the after lesson quizzes on Khan with 4/4s. Then the day before was rereading notes and Peterson’s.

On the Exam:

The exam isn’t heavy on solving mole equations which I didn’t expect. I saw a handful of each of the following: phase diagrams, ideal gas law and its derivatives, which one is oxidizing/reducing (so oxidation #), what will coefficient be when balanced, finding rate from a table, identifying the net ionic equation, shifts to equilibrium (so le chatelier, catalyst, etc), solving pH, reaction quotient and Kc/Kp, steric # to VSEPR shape, dilution and titration using M1V1 = M2V2, find change in entropy/enthalpy given kJ difference, find gibbs energy given entropy and enthalpy, periodic trends (which is most unreactive etc), which is a bronsted base, which has the ____ dispersion forces (H-NOF etc), periodic trends in electronegativity difference.

And very few of the following: identify what organic group, solving for Ecell given cathode and anode, molality, if has a dipole moment, organize by pH, buffers, organize by radius, isotope form, what color some substance will be (full d shell = colorless, transition metals are mostly colorful), what is used to measure precise liquids, resonance. Didn’t see: ligands, complex ions, half life, raoult’s law. Definitely forgetting some. I didn’t see these but I'd still learn them.

Other tips / thoughts:

What changed from my 1st time is that now, the exam has a calculator where you don’t need to keep switching between the Help tab. So you can just type into the calculator while being able to see the questions. Periodic table is in Help tab though. Also it is BW, no groups. Very barebones. This exam is tough, especially if you hate sciences like me. The 6 credits is worth it though. I gave up early a lot of days and would fall behind on my schedule. I’d stop for the day if I felt dead because I wasn’t going to retain the information anyways. Remember that each day is a new day so wake up and keep going! Good luck if you're studying for this.

I take the test on Wednesday at 2, so tomorrow is my last full day to study. I'm not too confident in my abilities. My peterson practice test scores were around the 50% range.

my main focus was studying atomic structure, stoichiometry, bonding, acids and bases. Honestly, I didn't even bother with most of the math. The stuff with the triangles and the G and H? no idea. I didn't bother much with the thermodynamics. What I did about that is I tried to study the formulas and just remember how to solve it. Like I know that with rate constant, K is equal to 8.8 something, and it's logA x logB / log C x log D and I know how to relatively put a logarithm into a calculator. Anyway, I barely studied the math because I trust my math ability to FigUrE iT oUt.

My strategy is to answer every single question that I know I know first, then answer the ones that I think I know, and leave the math for last.

I have a problem with missing details, as I have ADHD, so I need to remember to read every word in the question.

any advice?

Although I needed a 70 to take care of not just my lecture for Gen Chem 1 and 2 but my labs too, I am still mostly content with how things turned out.

As a preface, I had no chemistry background other than high school honors Chemistry (during COVID, like 3 years ago), so I was pretty much going from nothing (although stoichiometry came a bit quicker). I had ample time to prepare (7 weeks), so I decided to allocate my time studying primarily on Khan Academy's AP Chemistry course for 4-5ish weeks, and the last 2-3 just focusing on practice tests. I was worried about not passing since I pretty much needed it so my schedule won't be terrible next fall, so I wanted to maximize my chances of doing well. Practice was key,

In this regard, I believe Peterson's was pretty useful (you can access it for free through here https://www.gale.com/c/petersons-test-prep -> Adams Free Library), and I also used the Official Study Guide and both REA Practice Tests. Of the other two, I think the REA tests were a bit more useful since it actually gives an explanation for each question, while the official one just dumps all the answers without much else. I got those two from a post from Lex_0407 (shoutout to them), though it has unfortunately been taken down.

For my first Peterson's test, I tried taking the first practice exam with only knowledge of Units 1-4 on Khan Academy, and it did not go very well. I only got 30/75, and I guessed on like half of them, so I proceeded to go through the rest of the units. I then decided to squeeze in every unit up until the Applications of Thermodynamics Unit (9), then I took the second exam and I got 44/75. I then wrapped up the last unit, and attempted the first REA exam, and got 43/75.

At this point, I realized that I wasn't really retaining a lot of the content, so I decided to go back to Khan Academy, and grinded through the comprehensive course challenge at least once each day for the last two weeks and writing stuff down so I would at least get the feel for some of the content of the questions. After doing this and studying the previous exams, I got 56/75 on the third Peterson's test. On the last REA exam, I got 55/75. Petersons was the easiest, REA was moderate, and the official one was the hardest for me. The actual exam was harder than all of them (perhaps I got unlucky).

In total, I averaged around 3ish days per unit for Khan (including the assignments and sometimes the quizzes/tests), and I tried to take notes for everything in a notebook (I wanted to have some insurance that I would pass). I tried to also squeeze in some of the Modern States questions since I wanted to get the free voucher/extra practice. I ended up using googling a lot of the problems and using Brainly since I didn't bother watching any of the videos. Glaser Tutoring Company also covers a lot of these questions if you have trouble finding some. If you are tight on time, you could technically just guess on all of the questions (there are 5 answer choices and you get 5 attempts), but otherwise, I would recommend doing them for practice.

I don't quite remember what most of the topics were on the test, but I felt that there were a lot more wildcard questions than I expected compared to most of the other practice tests (like random osmosis, freezing point, and compound color questions). These were mostly just completely random things, or based off something I already would've known about, but with a strange twist (like a somewhat weird rate law question). My strategy was to immediately do all the ones that I at least had an idea of what to do for, and to mark random answers for the others then flag them so I at least had a random chance of guessing correctly.

Time management was crucial, and I barely had any time left to check over the answers I was confident in. In the second pass (I had like 30-35 minutes left at the start of it), I ironed down 30 questions of uncertainty down to 20 by the process of elimination and reading more carefully, though still I don't think I would've known how to do most of the rest. In this regard, I believe the REA guide would probably be useful for touching up on some of these topics.

Some ideas that I found rather useful off the top of my head for the easier ones were PV=nRT, the gas constants, molarity, limiting reactant, acids and bases (be able to identify strong acids and bases), and an idea of how enthalpy/entropy work and how they relate to Gibbs Free energy. I know the last one is from the last unit on Khan Academy, but it kept popping up on the practice exams and the real one, so I would suggest looking into those topics to get some easy points. There were also quite a bit of electrochemistry questions that I forgot how to do.

The test interface itself was kind of clunky compared to Peterson's. There was only ever one question on the screen at once, the interface looks archaic, and I thought the first question was some kind of practice problem to get used to the software, but it wasn't. The periodic table covers the entire screen and is found within the help menu, so I sometimes had to rewrite the answer choices on my scratch paper to have any idea what my choices were if I needed it. The calculator you have access to is an emulated TI-30XS MultiView, which I started practicing with halfway through my studies so I could get more used to it. College Board says you should practice with the sample on their website, but I found it cumbersome sending a verification link to my email each time I wanted to use it, so I found this random link on the internet (https://mn.testnav.com/client/index.html#login?username=LGN014220188&password=B3FT7JJK), and set a bookmark to it so I could just click on it to sign in.

In the end, I thought I could get away with not studying most of the misc. topics not covered by Khan Academy, but it came back to bite me since there was no way I could've physically made up the last 3 points with what I knew, so please don't made the same mistake I did if it hinges on you getting the score you need. Good luck

I took the Chemistry CLEP to test out of Gen Chem 1 and Gen Chem 2 (5 credits each). Preparing for the exam is more daunting than the exam itself, but here's what I used to get my score.Resources:

1. Khan Academy AP course -- this was the most helpful resource for the CLEP exam, even though it isn't marketed as a CLEP course. There are articles if you aren't ready to watch all the videos -- all the videos aren't necessary, and there are practice questions with explanations. I also have a list of the essential concepts that I noted, especially related to bonding, hybridization, and structure (which was about 45% of my exam), so if anyone wants it, I can hit you up.
2. Modern States -- do the practice questions. Many of the practice questions that I saw on Modern States were similar to the ones on the exam, especially Rutherford and Raoult's law. Also, I advise watching the descriptive chemistry videos on Modern States -- it goes over some common separation procedures (I got evaporation, filtration setup, and I think something to do with water vapor pressure) as well as a bit of organic chemistry (identifying functional groups and isomerism). Also, if you complete it successfully, you get a free voucher, so why not?
3. Retired SAT II Chemistry exams -- The College Board also reuses some of the questions on these tests. I also think that the Section A questions, those where you are given a list of stuff to answer questions on, are adequately represented on these exams. The multiple-choice sections are also lots of practice for the CLEP exam, and many of the concepts were tested on the CLEP exam in similar ways.

I have a chemistry clep in a week and I’m running their modern states. But what are great study resources to pass the exam?

If you need help, visit our website: hiraedu. com OR If you Need practice test / Mock Test, visit our site: Brainliest

I passed CLEP chemistry with a 73 today. Going into it I had zero background except high school chemistry over a decade ago. I had a lot of trouble finding accurate tests and study materials, so I'm sharing what ended up working for me and what didn't in case it's helpful to anyone else. I studied over the course of about 7 weeks, probably averaging about an hour a day.

• Khan Academy was a great foundation. I watched all the videos and did all the exercises. During the final week before my test, I tried to do a course mastery challenge every day.
• The Modern States course is not that great--the videos don't cover that much and the explanations are worse than Khan Academy's. Also, it seems that the order of the modules has been switched around since the videos and textbook were made (often the professor in the video lists a module number that doesn't correspond to the module of the course). This really confused me at first--for example, in module 1, there's stuff about nuclear chemistry that doesn't make any sense until you understand rate constant/reaction order. I ended up watching the Khan Academy videos for a corresponding topic and then doing the Modern States "Check for Understanding" quizzes without watching the videos.
• I paid for Peterson's and ended up asking for my money back--they did give it to me, so I can't knock their customer service, but I definitely don't have good things to say about the product! The practice tests have errors that really confused me and shook my confidence. A few examples:
  • A question asking for the element with the largest atomic number lists Br as the correct answer, even though I is one of the other options.
  • A standard cell reduction question lists incorrect cell reduction potentials (ie, Zn2+ + 2e− ⇌ Zn ; Eo = +0.76 V, when it should be -0.76V...but then to get the "correct" answer you'd have to plug in -0.76V)
  • Several questions reference "information above" and there is not information above--an issue with randomization, perhaps?
• I switched McGraw Hill SAT subject test practice tests and found them helpful and pretty accurate to the CLEP exam. I also reviewed the chapter on Experimental Chemistry and found that useful.
• I am simultaneously studying for the MCAT and used Sketchy to memorize a few important concepts (galvanic cells, periodic trends, functional groups, types of acids and bases). I found this resource super useful, although I wouldn't say it's worth the money for CLEP alone.

What was on the exam:

• Lots of stoichiometry, periodic trends, ideal gas law, entropy/enthalpy, oxidation reactions/oxidation number questions, Le Chatelier's principle, rate law, Ksp
• A few questions that required knowledge of solubility rules, strong/weak acids/bases.
• Several questions about experimental chemistry that were basically just dressed-up molar mass calculations.
• Questions about lab safety--definitely review a list of common lab safety rules!
• No organic functional groups or ion colors (this was a surprise to me! Maybe I got lucky?)

I did have time to answer all of the questions on the exam, but I only ended up with 5 minutes to review difficult answers. I think doing more timed practice exams could have improved my score.

I initially studied the aforementioned document and then went and did the REA practice tests. For everything I didn't know I made a study guide for it and went over the answer explanations and retook the tests multiple times. I also made notes of descriptions of the wrong answers as well to try and know why it was the wrong answer

My commentary on the test:

Using these two materials was adequate but not enough. About a third of the information I saw on the test was not covered in either of the material so I would highly recommend a third source or more to make sure you cover all bases. I got through the test with deductive skills and was surprised I even got a 63 because of how much content I came across I literally didn't encounter in any of the guides (or at least the tests from REA) but I would recommend better to be safe than sorry.

On the test it was primarily hypothetical situations as opposed to just defining terms. The REA tests helped prepare me for those hypothetical scenarios a lot compared to the document. I say this to say the test is a little bit more conceptual than concrete and so you need more of a looser understanding of what terms mean as opposed to a "this = that" sort of mentality of trying to match terms to their definitions.

There was not as much biology on the test I got as labelled. It was maybe like at best an eighth of the questions instead of it being a fifth or even a fourth of the questions.

Conclusion

I don't think you need to study for the test for more than a week. Five days is enough, two days for reviewing material, so seven days overall. I think the test overall is fairly easy, I'd rate it like a 2.5/5 in terms of difficulty.

I just took the exam, and I passed it! I studied pretty intensely for less than two weeks (because I needed to pass), so some of the stuff I did might be overkill. I'll mention some of the helpful resources I used. I really recommend looking at other posts and seeing what other people did to study and their resources, too. Feel free to ask any questions!

- Modern States for the free voucher and chapter questions/final exam (just to test myself)

- Peterson's Test Prep for the 3 practice exams (some of the modules provided comprehensive tables for information like studies of psych and functions of the brain). I took the exams a total of two times. The first time I did it with basic knowledge of the content

What resources should I use to prep for the Psychology Clep. All I need is 50 to pass. And how long do I need to study. I was hoping to take the test next Saturday but not sure if one week is enough, studying 20 hrs total. Thoughts? I have the voucher from modern estates.

Hello, need someone to help me with my maths assignment. i need it done so that i can close this class.

This was my second CLEP taken. First was introductory sociology. I felt sociology was far easier than psychology. I used modern states of course, and copied all the quizzes and final exam into ChatGPT for studying. I also used an old Peterson practice test I found on here from someone and also put that into ChatGPT. Overall I prepped for about a week. I will say I didn’t feel like either of those resources were very helpful compared to the actual test. I didn’t have hardly any theorist questions on the test, not at all to the level that some on here have mentioned. But hey, I still passed and that’s all that matters.

I can follow a solved problem perfectly. Then I cover it, change one number, and suddenly I have never seen algerbra before.

Searching how to do math homework mostly gives me more completed examples. I need a method that forces me to choose each step myself. What do you use between “I get it” and actually solving one alone?
