CLEP Chemistry??

I am planning on CLEPing Chemistry and Calculus....

Calculus would be easy, and I could fin a few resources for prep but Chemistry doesn't seem to be popular, in fact college board itself isn't providing Chemistry Guide!!

Is there any particular reason for it? Is it really tough or is it just unpopular??

EDIT: If you could provide some prep resources (for both especially Chem) or point me in the right direction, it would mean a lot!

Best source

See this thread:
Chemistry CLEP

If you join Instantcert (discount code 85722), you'll have access to even better advice on the specific exam forum. It's only for members. I've found it very worthwhile.

More info about Instantcert can be found here. They offer both flashcard review and forum resources for members: Degree Planners - Instantcert.com

Chemistry is not too hard

Hey! Look in the website: Free Practice Clep Tests! and follow instructions. You will find 3 practice tests. I practiced with those and passed Chem CLEP with 61. I only studied for 15 hours approx although I knew a big amount of material from before. Good Luck! The test was harder than the samples, but still easier than AP samples I found...

I passed it in March of this year with a 53. It was by far the hardest CLEP exam I have taken. I studied exclusively by taking practice exams. I took five of them. I probably would have done better had I done more practice exams, and spent more time googling the terms I was unfamiliar with in the questions and answers as I reviewed the test.
