i need free clep bio practice tests pllss

My community college allows 50% of our general ed to be clep exams. Which is quite a bit. So I was just wondering if when I apply to four year colleges if they’re gonna look at me and be like no. Idk if im gonna do the whole 50% but I’ll certainly do a lot. Also has anyone had a hard time getting scholarships due to taking clep exams? I’ve heard it’s harder to get scholarships with them but idk if that’s true.

Im thinking of taking the microeconomics clep. I have taken ap macroeconomics and the score comes out in 2 days, but I am confident that I got at least a 4. Will the microeconomics clep be easy for me? In other words, how different/harder is microeconomics than macroeconomics?

I’m a parent in my 30’s earning my AS this fall thanks to this wonderful subreddit. It has really been an incredible resource, so I’d like to share my story and answer any questions that may be helpful to you guys.

I needed 62 credits for the degree, and I used CLEP for 39. I could have even used a couple more (American Gov, Biology or Chemistry), but I had already taken those in person.

Here are the exams I took, in order, with scores:

English Comp: 69

Principles of Management: 52

Principles of Marketing: 62

Financial Accounting: 61

Spanish (No Writing): 71

Information Systems: 63

Principles of Microeconomics: 71

Principles of Macroeconomics: 67

Precalculus: 59

I’m planning to transfer into a BA in Econ with a minor in Finance, and I can actually CLEP 3 more of those courses (Calculus, Sociology, and Introductory Psychology), so I’m happy to listen to any advice you guys may have (especially Calculus, studying currently).

I am nervous about this because there’s not a lot of info out there or resources. #pleasehelp

i watched all the videos and did all the modules on modernstates for this clep and passed most of them, got a 79 on the final exam yesterday, then i took the actual CLEP today and ended up getting a 39. lifes great.

I want to take both of these CLEP exams before the fall semester begins on Aug 24th. I was thinking of prepping 1-2 weeks before each test, but I wanted to see what you guys think. Of course I’m just going to use the free voucher from Modern States, but is there anything you guys recommend? Also, let’s assume I have NO background knowledge on Management and Marketing, but I did make a 66 on my Bio CLEP recently.

I’m studying for the calculus clep and i did unit 1 of khan academy which felt overdetailed then i did the modern states quiz which didnt have as much content ik modern states videos are bad but i was wondering if i should just see what topics to study on modern states watch organic chemistry tutor videos then take the quizzes or just stick to khan academy if I should stick to khan academy which units should i do for ap calc ab thanks for all the help !!

I’m an older, non-traditional student and I have taken these 4 exams (thus far) to save money and time to fulfill general education requirements for a bachelor’s.

I took US History 2, US History 1, American Government, and Business Law. I got 78, 77, 73, and 78, respectively. I spent about a week study for the first 2, 2 days for American Government, and 5 days for the Business Law exam.

CLEP is not that challenging if you study even minimally. I used the Modern States vouchers. I got them by taking initially only the quizzes and final exam. Then afterwards I would skim the key terms at the end of each chapter.

I spent only 2 days studying American Government because I was confident and there is a lot of overlap with US History. I guess I got a bit cocky because I got a 73 instead of 77/78. I know only a 50 is required for credit and no one cares about the score as long as it’s passing but it makes a difference to me.

The best way to study for standardized exams is to take as many practice exams as possible. I took the 3 Peterson’s exams of each subject until I got above 95. In between I would study what I got wrong. Peterson’s is more difficult than CLEP exams. They have a lot of gotcha questions, and at times the wrong answers. Some of the questions can be poorly worded (that irritated me as they’re supposed to be an authority) so that you answer wrong. Overall I believe they’re good to take because they’re a challenge.

I also dabbled with Quizlet and Brainly flash cards, which has poor quality control as any user can upload wrong answers. A couple of times I ordered the CLEP practice exam as a final practice exam as that is the best gauge of the format and difficulty of the officially CLEP exam one takes.

Help a girl out I need above 75 in these cleps and I want practice tests to get me used to the CLEP format and all that so share your websites here please

Hello, I recently took the accuplacer test and heard about clep but I have some question I should probably ask my school advisor but im asking reddit instead.

Does taking clep reduce the amount you get through fasa? since your essentially taking an entire class.

Should I take clep exams for any course I can do good or only those that my major (biotech) needs?

I have to take the spanish clep to avoid paying 5k for a class, I wanted to know what I should expect in terms of difficulty for a person who took 4 years of spanish in highschool but that was 3-4 years ago, I see a lot of people who passed the clep in the subreddit but its people who are bilingual and I just want to know what I should expect based on my circumstances.

Peterson’s Practice Test 1: 37.5%
Peterson’s Practice Test 2: 50%
Petersons’s Practice Test 3: 48.75%

Passed Intro to Psychology with a 60!

And with only two days of studying!

a few days ago i passed the marketing clep with a 60.
i’m a rising sophomore.
i had the background of a business class that gave me a handful of the information that i needed already, but for studying i skimmed through the free clep prep notes and took the free practice test. not much else.
i would also say the questions on the real test are considerably more tricky than what was on free clep prep, but still manageable!
looking to take the business law exam next!

Need to pass one asap! Which one is easiest and how long should I allocate to studying?

Hello, I recently passed my two CLEP exams, College Comp and Intro to Psych. These two exams, credit wise, were the last two I need to receive my diploma. The only issue is for my online school, I need the score on a transcript showing the credit for them to approve it. I live in GA. I appreciate any help, thank you.

back again, and with a very familiar score!

background: rising college freshman; i took a media theory class at my state flagship as part of pseo so i am familiar with people like erving goffman and some other aspects of sociology as they pertain to modern digital media. i also took ap human geo a couple years ago so i recognised a lot of the terms and intimately knew things like the demographic transition model and random human geo trivia which is probably the only reason i scored high

i didn't really study for this one. to be honest, i heard it was really easy and kinda just didn't bother to take any practice tests until literally the morning of my 10am test and listened to a youtube lecture of the most famous sociologists on the way to the test center..

thankfully the test was a lot easier than the petersons practice test i took, i agree with everyone that it is perfectly passable with minimal study. perhaps just run a quizlet of comte, marx, cooley, talcott, the others i can't name right now, etc., and you will be fine with some decent test taking skills.

i have a week off now because i am working 7 days in a row at kind of awkward times but after that it is macroeconomics! excited for that one as i already have taken a college macro course that just wasn't accepted by my 4 year so this is a bit of a grudge match for me as they for some reason take the clep but not the cc course i took.

My son started CLEPs at 14 - just finished Intro to Psych. 62 - his lowest score yet.

He said the test was too random - with some questions about stuff he had never heard of. He did the entire Psych book that is on Modern States - and some of the questions were not related to anything in the book.

He is finishing up Pre-Calc. And starting Macroeconomics.

College Algebra - 73 (92%)

College Composition Modular - 63 (79%)

Intro to Sociology - 71 (89%)

Intro to Psychology - (78%)

Pre-Calc - testing soon
