What is the CLEP Biology Exam?
The College Board administers the College-Level Examination Program® (CLEP®), which offers affordable exams that allow students to earn college credit for knowledge they already have.
The CLEP Biology exam assesses your understanding of molecular, cellular, organismal, and population biology. Instead of taking a full semester biology course, you can take this single exam and receive college credit if you pass.
By taking and passing the CLEP Biology exam, you may:
- Earn three or more college credits
- Save money since the exam costs far less than a college semester
- Graduate on time or possibly ahead of schedule
- Add flexibility to your degree program
Before registering, you should confirm with your college that they accept CLEP Biology scores.

How the Test is Scored
The CLEP Biology exam scoring system works as follows:
- One point is awarded for each correct answer
- No points are deducted for incorrect answers
- No penalty for skipped questions
Your total correct answers become your raw score, which is then converted into a scaled score ranging from 20 to approximately 80.
- Unofficial scores appear immediately after completion
- Official score reports are available the next day in your CLEP account
There is no universal passing score. Each college sets its own credit-granting requirements.

Testimonials
What do our clients say?
Prepsaret was the best self-study resource I found for the CLEP Biology exam. I’ve always dealt with test anxiety, but the practice helped me feel a lot more confident and prepared. I passed on my first try, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone getting ready for this test.
Alaric Thorne
I definitely recommend Prepsaret for CLEP Biology prep. The study material was super accurate, and after about a month of studying, I felt fully prepared and passed the exam.
Brontë Keane
Prepsaret was a huge help while I was getting ready for the Biology exam. I liked being able to study at my own pace, and the quizzes really helped the concepts stick. The full practice tests (with detailed answer explanations) were especially useful. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone taking CLEP Biology!
Cyra Leland
I’ve tried a bunch of study materials before and none of them really clicked, but Prepsaret made prepping for the CLEP Biology exam feel way more manageable. The practice questions were super close to what I saw on the real test, and the feedback after each quiz helped me figure out what I needed to work on. I passed, and honestly felt really confident walking in.
