CLEP PREP

book was a great help for studing. exactly what i was looking for at the time. i hadn't taken any science for well over 10 yrs and this gave me a good basis of everything.

Great for recalling old knowledge

The COMEX guide is 1/2 inch thick and you've got to have paid attention during High School Life/Physical Science or have read a one dollar thrift shop college text book to have an expectation of passing any of the CLEP exams. I went 13/14 and 54 semester hours in 2006, only failed the Public Speaking DSST because I didn't go three minutes. The COMEX books aren't cram guides but they are among the best available for those with needing to recall old knowledge or make sense of new material from a used textbook. I found the Rudman to be the most difficult to understand while the Barrons, Princeton Review, Peterson's are somewhere in the middle.

Good-but you need a little more

This book gives you a basic overview of Natural Sciences. I studied this book thoroughly and also spent a lot of time studying Peterson's CLEP Practice Tests. These got me a 66 on this test. I recommend at least one other resource.

Good Review, but not useful alone

I read this book from cover to cover - twice - and did well on my second try of the practice exam. I felt pretty good about the knowledge I had learned. However, this did NOT prepare me for the CLEP Exam in Natural Sciences. The questions were much broader than what is covered in this book. I suggest that this book definitely be used as a beginning to study for the exam, and then add other resource materials, including biology text books, chemistry, and physics. It will take much more than just this book to pass the exam.

I passed the exam....barely

I have to give this book a high rating because I did pass using only this book... I got a 420 which is the ace recommened score. Also, I only studied about a week before I had to take the test. I'm not great at science, so I figured what the heck. If I don't pass, I'll just take some dantes tests. Fortunately, it worked out. If a high score is imporant, I would also buy the Princeton Review book also(It also might help to study more than a week) Princeton Review tells you EXACTLY what you need to study for.Good Luck!
