CLEP Biology & Chemistry & Precalculus!!!

Hello!

I already finished AP Biology and AP Chemistry Exam, and completed the SAT II Math

Level 2 on last week. I am currently planning to register for CLEP Bio, Chem, and Precal.

Is it okay to study CLEP Biology and Chemistry with AP Books (Cliffs, Barron's, TPR) and

score high on those two exams? Also is complete mastery of topics on SAT II Math Level2

is all I need to study for CLEP Precal?

If already took the AP Chemistry and Biology Exam, then why are you taking the CLEP Chemistry and Biology Exam?

Colleges won't give you double credit...

Yes, as MadisonS pointed out, you will not get "double credit" if you pass the AP exams and also take (and pass) the CLEP exams. It is one or the other. But if you are not confident in how you might have done on the AP exams and you want some certain credit, go ahead and take the CLEP exams.

I have heard of people using the AP books in their study preparations for the CLEP exams. Have you already looked over the exam descriptions on CLEP's website? If not, definitely do this as you will want to see what material is going to be covered on the exam. Also, the description should contain some textbook resources and possibly some online resources to use in preparation.
