They just realigned the AP sequences for World Languages, and a few things changed. The AP Spanish Lit and Culture exam is the one that is generally meant to be taken at the end of Spanish V. It is a very intensive exam with a huge reading list and it expects a high level of critical thinking and essay production.

Here in Texas, if you make a 3 on the AP Spanish Language exam, you get credit for 8 hours of Spanish (101 and 102), while a 5 gets you 11 hours (101, 102, 201). AP Spanish Literature, on the other hand, also gets you credit for SPAN 202 with a 3 and SPAN 320 with a 5. Thus a 5 on the AP Spanish Lit exam would give you a total of 17 hours of credit.
At least, that's what they told me at the AP teacher training this summer.
That said, the Spanish Language CLEP is a very expedient way of earning 12 or more credits.
