Spanish CLEP

[jtalama]

The language exams are considered the most difficult. I'm Hispanic and although I don't consider myself fluent, the language is and was spoken around me since early childhood and I played Spanish music in a band until my mid 20s. While you can earn up to 12 credits with a good score, I only got 6. I chalk it up to having been around lots of slang and Spanglish all my life. That's not to say you can't get 12, it would likely be extremely difficult if you don't already know Spanish.

For a non-Spanish speaker, you're going to want to spend a lot of time studying. I used SpanishHour and found it to be very nicely laid out. You're going to want to soak every lesson up and don't move on to the next lesson until you fully understand. There is a lot of work to each "day" with SpanishHour, so I can see it taking 50 days with an hour or two per day, for those new to the language. After that, I'd use another study resource that would help you re-enforce what you learned with SH.
