I'd assume it is Latin Spanish since it is based on the college Spanish courses which seem to focus on Spanish spoken in Mexico.
You can find some basic info and a few practice questions at Spanish Language | CLEP
One other note, they only have one Spanish test (and only one for German and French). The "level 2" comes in when you get a higher score and they give you 12 credits instead of 6. I haven't taken that course or exam but I had a native speaker friend of mine take it and said it was straightforward but notes the listening portion is more difficult.
You just take the one exam and have a shot at either six or twelve credits so it's worth a shot if you know the language.
Here is their scoring info:
Spanish Language, Level 1 - Passing Score 50 - 6 credits
Spanish Language, Level 2 - Passing Score 63 - 12 credits
Level 1 â equivalent to the first two semesters (or six semester hours) of college-level world language course work
Level 2 â equivalent to the first four semesters (or 12 semester hours) of college-level world language course work
