Thank you! My school does accept the CLEP testing but I'm not sure if they would take precedence over the other courses that I previously took. I hope so!

Hi everyone! I have a question about the CLEP exam and nursing school. So I already have a degree from Wayne State University. I am applying to the second degree nursing program. I have all of the pre-reqs completed to include the sciences. Here's the hook: I dropped both biology (micro and A&P) classes in 2005 (due to work/family issues) and retook the classes the following semester. I got a C in one class and a C+ in the other. I took the classes at a community college and got C's again (which I don't get. I love science and understand it) in both classes. I have A's and B's in my other pre-reqs. Those withdrawals are really bugging me! Would it benefit me to take the science CLEP and submit that with my application? I just want the nursing school to understand that I'm making an effort and show that I'm competent in the science classes. I don't think taking the class again for a higher grade will do any good as I already have 2 withdrawals and took the classes over again. Any suggestions?
