I recently passed German and French CLEP's with my VWO diploma and no studying ahead of time. I scored in the 70's with both exams, way more than required for the 12 credit you get for each exam. On a level of difficulty, I would grade it at "klas" 2 or "klas" 3 VWO, mainly because of the difficulty understanding some of the words as the quality of material is very poor.ChristaKB,
Good luck on your quest!

Thank you for your insights - how long ago did you take your VWO classes? Mine are long enough ago that I am hesitant (have been out of school for 25 years). Nice to meet someone from Holland - here in the Midwest I don't know a soul that speaks my mother tongue!
