I am looking to take the Spanish CLEP for 6 -12 credits. I only really need 6 credits. I have the REA book, but I'm not so sure it is doing the job. I've read about half to three quarters of the 'study guide' portion and my score hasn't jumped much. (50 to 54) I would love some recommendations from you all about this.
I did have two years of Spanish in high school, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to help me as much as I would like because I misremember things and it's been about a year or two since I've touched on the subject. I do live in Texas, and I'm sure that helps, and I do sometimes order my food in Spanish, but that's not going to get me far.
I am scoring 50s and 54s in the REA practice book, but I would love to excel much higher than this because I've heard the REA tests are easier than the actual CLEP test. I know this is true on a few because of experience. I did find the College Algebra REA book insufficient, so I'm being very wary this time around. I don't expect myself to get an 80 but I would like to see practice test scores in the upper 50s to 60s. I know if I fail the CLEP Spanish it's going to be a "borderline" score - and I want to be extra prepared for any fault of mine (a safety net score)
Right now I could really use some encouragement and suggestions from you all. Thanks!
(P.S. I haven't scheduled my test yet but I was thinking the end of the week after Easter would be great. that will give me a week to finish the book and a week to condition myself)
