Hi!

I am working on getting into the LPN to BSN program at Indiana State Online. I need to take Micro, General Chemistry and Interpersonal Communications though CLEP with Excelsior. Just wondering if anyone has any tips, tricks, or suggestions as to which books or study guides to get to help me with these.

Thanks in advance!

You take CLEP through the college board and send the results to ISU.

There are study guides for each exam

Excelsior is only needed if you take EC/UExcel exams:

Excelsior College | 1. Choose Your Exam

Each has an exam content guide and recommended resources to prepare

Oh - I guess I thought CLEP was the testing out. I am doing the UExcel tests to get the prereqs taken care of. I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions on study guides.

I CLEP-ed out of general biology (which is also an exam, administered by the College Board and truthfully, accepted by more institutions) I highly recommend the Cliff Note texts if they are available in your subjects. I used a combination of the Cliff Notes AP Biology, a college textbook, and looked up any type of practice tests I could find online (if you look around, you can sometimes access notes, lectures and tests from different universities, just google course name/numbers). Good Luck!
