Spanish Clep 12 Credits??

[splirow]

I just had (2 days ago) an evaluation done by TESU for my Spanish Clep Test that I took in 2003. I scored a 75 on that test (no writing).

TESU just gave me 12 Credits

Is anyone else getting 12 credits for the most recent Spanish Clep test? What are you getting? Plus score of test?

TESU goes by ACE for this, so back in '03, a score of 63 or above was worth 12cr (and 50+ was worth 6cr).  Since 3/1/2015, it's only worth 6 or 9cr for same scores.

CLEP has added the Spanish w/Writing exam, which is worth 6cr for a score of 50+ and 12cr for a score of 65+.

ACTFL has 4 exams you can take (Oral, Written, Listening & Reading), and some can get you UL credits as well - worth doing if you're fluent and getting a degree where you need UL credit in the humanities.  Cheap and you can do them from home.

Yeah.. I also heard that the CLEP credits you get are different than the ACTFL. So possibility of getting 32 Credits+ is crazy especially if someone is fluent.

I do know that the Spanish Language CLEP does not overlap with any of the 4 ACTFL exams.  But I'm not sure what the Spanish w/Writing CLEP comes in as - nobody has taken it and reported back.

If you scored the highest level for all 4 ACTFL exams, you'd actually get 24cr LL + 12cr UL, add that to your 12cr for the CLEP, and you'd have 36r LL + 12cr UL = 48cr.  For someone who was getting a BALS at TESU, that would be all of Knowledge of Human Cultures + 9cr GE Electives; 12cr of UL AoS; and 15cr of LL AoS.

That's 40% of a degree, and practically the most important parts of the degree.

I do wonder if COSC and EC follow ACE for these as well.

Well my wife will do all next week. We live in Texas and test centers are open here. I will report back here. She is super fluent in Spanish. So its safe to assume highest score possible.
