CLEP Biology – Earn College Credit with CLEP Test Prep from REA
My son is a our rising junior. He is our resident math and science wiz. He is looking at both advanced chemistry and advanced biology over the next two years. We think he is an obvious candidate for CLEP and earning college credit. How wonderful it would be to earn college credit and reduce tuition costs!
He is also my auditory learner. So those online testing tools have been the best for his learning. Plus the CLEP Biology book is just the right size to tuck in with the rest of his subjects for some daily study.
That is key in a busy, homeschooling family – REA testing tools make it easy to fold into what we are already studying.

CLEP American Government
These sound perfect! I like the idea of CLEP tests for college credit, and the ACT prep course will be a necessity for us in about two years. Thanks, Tricia!
We have lots of high schoolers and soon to be high schoolers in our home. These resources would be great!
CLEP History of the US 1. The book+online, test package and/or flashcards with CD!
We have done several CLEP/DSST tests, and really love the REA books. Hoping to have one do Biology and one ACT next year, so this would be a great win!
Wishing you and your kids lots of success in this high school journey. We just found out Miss 17 is accepted to the university she chose, with a scholarship!
CLEP exams are not common in Canada, and even AP subject tests are difficult to access, but they seem to be a great option for the US.
Oh what wonderful news Annie Kate – congratulations to you both!
CLEP tests have always been in our long term plan. I had not checked into these books before but I love how comprehensive they seem to be. Sociology and Psychology are on our list right now. Maybe Biology after that.
Ready to make a go of it with CLEP
Practicing for the ACT made all the difference in my daughter getting accepted to each college that she applied for…so be encouraged, folks. There are a lot of colleges who are looking for kids who are self-motivated, like our homeschooled teens!
