How should i go for it?

[Sora1421]

I recently took the spanish clep and recieved a 50 for it...only 4 credits. A 66 at my college scores you 12 credits. This is a pretty tough feat and i wish there was an 8 credit score but i don't think there is....it's either 4 or 12.

I actually took 5 semesters or Spanish in high school, i recieved a B overall in AP spanish which actually was still considered an A becuase it was AP.

I took the test and found it to be very hard....i had had no spanish for over a month and hadn't really reviewed at all in that time so going into it i know i wasn't prepared. However still...the listening section i thought was very hard as i tried to translate everything as they spoke and that didn't work. I think i could do a different approach and try to pick out words especially after immersing myself in more authentic speaking which my class didnt cover well enough.

The reading section was a little tricky but nothing a little review on my basics wouldnt have helped becuase i hadn't done that. However i just bombed the listening and thats what got me.

What do you guys recommend i do to be ready to retake the test 6 months from now to go for the 12 credit shot..? My college wont require me to take any Spanish classes this year which will be nice since i have those 4 credits.

I thought i was pretty good at spanish but i will be placed in Spanish 002 at this rate which sure will be easy but probably a waste of time and money. A 66 will be hard i know....i REALLY wish i could test out of 001 and 002....but i need an AP test for that
