Though the publishing date listed is 2005, be warned that this is just a reprint of a 1978 book, not an update of a 1978 book. As such, it is very outdated; for instance, it still lists the solar system as having 9 planets, the purpose of the thymus as 'unknown', etc. If you were to memorize all the outdated material in this book, it would make it very difficult to actually pass the CLEP NatSci exam.

It is a very concise preparation book for the Natural Sciences CLEP exam which only hinges on a few topics for each subject area (physics, chemistry etc.) It is certain that the examinee will need other resources (college textbooks or study guides) for an optimum and effective preparation. That said, the review does not offer sample of tests akin to the difficulty of the actual one. The questions in the review are in majority conceptual, which is not the case for the real exam. Eventually, there is NO progression throughout the book; which makes it difficult for the examinee to evaluate whether s/he is ready to take the test. Overall because of the lack of concistency and reflection to the real exam, I will highly recomment not to buy this book on its own as a preparation guide.

The COMEX guide is 1/2 inch thick and you've got to have paid attention during High School Life/Physical Science or have read a one dollar thrift shop college text book to have an expectation of passing any of the CLEP exams. I went 13/14 and 54 semester hours in 2006, only failed the Public Speaking DSST because I didn't go three minutes. The COMEX books aren't cram guides but they are among the best available for those with needing to recall old knowledge or make sense of new material from a used textbook. I found the Rudman to be the most difficult to understand while the Barrons, Princeton Review, Peterson's are somewhere in the middle.

I used this book for the CLEP natural sciences exam. This book is a good starting point for your review, but it's not enough. I used this book as the primary resource, followed by the Official Study Guide 17th edition for review of test questions. I also bought Barron's Review Course Series, Let's Review Earth Science book for review. It covers a lot of stuff in more detail. Be prepared for the Biology and Chemistry portions of this test. I studied the CLEP guide I'm reviewing here and found the questions in the back to be pretty good, followed by testing myself with the CLEP Offical study guide and the Barron's book for thumbing through for review areas. I studied for 2 days, maybe 5 hours total and scored a 68 on this test. I hope that helps and good luck if you plan to take this test.
