What are you scoring on the REA and Peterson's?
For verbs - I borrowed "501 French verbs" and browsed thru it, only looking closer at the fairly common irregular verbs and tenses. I also borrowed one other book - a basic grammar book and perused it to remind myself of the exceptions and worked through some of the practice worksheets - the kind of stuff you'd do in 2nd or 3rd year high school language class.
Do you have access to a library?
I also borrowed the Pimsleur Language CD's from the library and that helped as a grammar and auditory refresher also.
Regarding your remark about the comments being "old" on the Spanish Exam Specific feedback - you may find that even tho' they are old they may still be very valid - the CLEP exams do not change quickly or by much - it is a more gradual process from what I have read. Of course they do combine exams and write new ones every once in a while!
I did not find the French exam hard at all - in fact it was easier than I thought it would be and I was probably over-prepared when all was said and done - but I wanted those 12 credits! Thanks for the congrats!
Good luck!
