Spanish CLEP in 2 Weeks!!! - Rosetta Stone, Peterson's Practice Exams

[Maniac Craniac]

I took this test a couple of months ago and passed with a 64. I used the REA Clep Spanish guide for prep, and it has an approximate raw score to scaled score coversion table. According to this table, the minimum number of questions correctly answered necessary to score a 64 is about 72. When I was taking the practice tests out of this book, I was getting about 75 of the questions right, which equated to a score of 65. In retrospect, this table was pretty accurate! Since your getting well over 80 of the questions correct, you shouldn't have a problem scoring above 63! Good luck!

The conversion table in the REA book is completely inaccurate. Also, you need to go over each and every question, because there are several instances where the book mixes up which answer goes to which question. In fact, for one test (I believe it is the second test), there are about 20 answers that don't correspond to any question that appears in any of the tests. It is really strange. So, you will have to go over all of your answers if you want to know how many you REALLY got right, rather than how many the answer key says you got right.

That's encouraging. I've heard several people say the Peterson's exams are a bit easier than the REA and the actual CLEP though.

Not even close. For my second and third Peterson's exams, I only got 2 wrong on each test. The actual CLEP was noticeably more challenging, however, it was not anywhere near as challenging as the REA book- in which I would still get about 15-20 questions wrong, even after retaking the same test.

I have mentioned this before on this site, the REA book is a disorganized mess, but I can guarantee you that if you master it, the CLEP will be a breeze. It covers absolutely everything that you could ever need to know for the Spanish CLEP, and the exams are much, MUCH more difficult than the real thing. Getting a copy would be a good idea
