Spanish CLEP examination: Spanish with Writing Level 1 & 2

What is the CLEP exam?

CLEP examinations are designed to measure knowledge and ability equivalent to that of students who have completed 3 – 9 terms (2-4 semesters) of college foreign language study. The exam focuses on skills typically achieved from the end of the first year through the second year of college study. Material taught during both years is incorporated into a single exam.

By taking the CLEP Exam, you have the opportunity to receive college credit for previously acquired knowledge, including native language, independent study, prior course work, on the job training, professional development, cultural pursuits, or internships
