CLEP tests for prerequisites?

Does anyone know if good scores on CLEP tests can qualify for prerequisites to optometry programs? There is no lab component to these tests (as far as I know), so I would think opt. programs would not accept them. From the CLEP web site, though, it states that the bio and chem tests "cover material that is usually taught in a one-year general biology/chemistry course." This might imply that some colleges give lab credit.

Anybody know anything about these tests and/or their applicability to optometry programs?

I don't know anything about CLEP tests. But, if I were you I would call the optometry schools you are interested in and ask them if they accept CLEP credits.
