Description: Overview:  REA's CLEP Biology Test Prep with TestWare CD Helps You Earn College Credits!  If you're looking for an easy and inexpensive way to earn college credit, why not take the CLEP Biology exam?  Our CLEP test preps are perfect for adults returning to college (or attending for the first time), military service members, high-school graduates looking to earn college credit, or home-schooled students with knowledge that can translate into college credit.  If you already know the subject matter, you can "test out" with CLEP and save time and money.  This updated second edition of our popular test prep features a comprehensive review of the Biology topics tested on the exam, including cellular and molecular biology, botany, zoology, genetics, and more.  Our CLEP Biology test prep includes three full-length practice tests that mirror the actual CLEP exam, allowing you to test your knowledge while preparing you for exam day.  Each practice test comes complete with detailed explanations of answers, so you can identify your strengths and weaknesses and get the college credits you deserve.  Our interactive TestWare CD features two of the book's practice tests in a timed format with automatic scoring, diagnostic feedback, and on-screen detailed explanations of all answers.  We don't just say which answers are correct, we explain why the other answer choices are incorrect, so you can increase your understanding with each exam.  A study schedule and test-taking strategies round out this complete test prep package.  If you know the material and want to test out with CLEP, this is the only test prep you need!  REA has a vast library of CLEP test preps that can help you earn college credit while saving you time and money.
