I studied from this book as well as the CLEP General Exam book for 4 weeks and still did not pass the test. Now I must wait 6 mths before retaking this subject, and I am now looking for another book to further educate me material that was in the actual clep test. The information covered in the review book is not sufficient. This guide focuses on some areas that are not covered in the exam. The exam has areas that are not covered in this book. The book has a lot of information, but not enough to sufficiently study for the Natural Science CLEP exam.
Not an Easy Way Out
This book is designed to assist students in refreshing their memories about science. It gives good test taking tips, and it gave me an idea as to which other books I needed to read. I ended up checking out more books from the library including: biology, chemistry, and geology. My science knowledge was not that strong when I started studying for the test, but I passed the test after studying the subject for 3 months. In short, this book is NOT a quick fix to passing the science clep. I gave it 3 stars because it did point me in the right direction. Good Luck!
Not enough information

Dont buy this book!
This book is a joke. The practice tests include topics not even covered within the book. The illustrations are mediocre and largely irrelevant to the material. Did I mention this book hasn't been revised in years? It states theories that were disregarded years ago. I only wish I could get my money back.
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.
