Foreign Language for University... CLEP or AP?

[ladylearner]

Hi all,

I am a distance student living in China, but getting a BA through a University in America.

It looks like my college accepts both AP and CLEP for the *one year* standard equivalent in Language.

Since I'm in China, obviously Chinese would be a good one to go for.

Spanish could also work due to its ease compared to Mandarin.

Anyone care to compare AP Chinese / Spanish VS. CLEP Chinese / Spanish?

All my research points to AP being tougher, but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

I'm not sure that AP exams are available to students outside of high school. You might also consider ACTFL credit options because you can get a lot more credits if you have in-depth language knowledge. There are tons of ACE credit options through both the Oral Proficiency Interview and the Writing Proficiency Test.
