Hi there and welcome. I think you will get a number of different opinions on how tough the test is. If you're an IC member, you should check out the specific feedback forum. If not, you can still find quite a few threads with a forum search.
I personally thought that the test was challenging, but then again, I would not have been happy with anything other than a perfect score based on my level of fluency.
I would highly recommend spending the ten dollars on the practice test on the CLEP site. See how you do before you go spend 100 bucks on the real thing. Spanish really isn't a test that you can cram for very well, so if you take the practice test and do ok, then study really hard for a few weeks and you'll be fine. However, if you're nowhere near passing, you may want to look at other options. (just my opinion, others may disagree)
Hope this helps!
