I also recently took the Spanish Clep! I took 3 years in highschool and have been to Mexico several times with my church. I thought I had a pretty good chance of passing this test. I did pass, but wasn't able to get a high enough score for the Spanish 2 level(the full 12 credits). The audio portion was the hardest for me. The sound on the computer was really bad quality. So I would suggest really concentrating on the listening portion of the test. I believe I was really only able to pass because of the written portion. I studied for about a month on this one because I was also scoring badly on the audio portion of the test. Go to the library and pick up some children's videos in Spanish and watch them with the subtitles. This helped me alot and I also got children's books and read them. They were very helpful! I used the REA clep prep as well. In the test it might help to have a piece of paper and write down words that you know while they are talking, although you only have about 10 seconds to choose an answer in between questions. Hope this helps! You'll do great ~kelsey
