Language testing parity - CLEP vs CEFR

[Thatch]

Tonight I start my German language individual instruction and while I am doing this for my own personal benefit I am starting to consider how this can be (eventually) used towards the completion of my degree.(especially considering that the language test can be worth up to 12 credits) The EU uses the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages to provide a method of learning, teaching and assessment of language ability. Language instructors therefore teach to the CEFR standards and all training materials and progression through the classes are based on these levels, A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 & C2.

So, while I am fully aware that there is no direct connection between CLEP testing and CEFR assesment, I was wondering if anyone here could draw a dotted line between the CEFR levels and a CLEP test result awarding 6 or 12 credits. In other words, does it take approximently a B1 level to get a 12 on the CLEP? Would an A2 most likely merit 6 credits? It would be great if there was a direct credit award for CEFR levels for credit as I will be testing along the way but I know that's not the case. Just trying to get an idea of 'when I'll be ready' to tackle the big language CLEP.

Thanks
