Hello,

Does anyone know how many credits you receive for Spanish Clep?

That CLEP doesn't award any credit – it's merely an exam that yields a score. Your school awards credit based on its criteria and that criteria will vary from school to school. For example, for a high score, one school may offer 8 credits for Beginning Spanish 1 and Beginning Spanish 2 but for the same score, another school might offer 3 credits for Elementary Spanish (but in general, I wouldn't expect to obtain more than 3 credits for any test).

You really need to contact your school. Note that most four years schools, and many 2-year, will not grant ANY credit once you've obtained junior standing. Most community colleges will require you to be an active student (however it's defined) and again, be aware of requirements – my local community college will not award credit for CLEP exams once you've obtained 64 credits.

i concur. I was hoping to use CLEP to knock out an additional 18 units to hit the 150 unit level (graduated in 2006 before the unit requirement change went into place), since I don't need any of the units to come from accounting or business courses. After calling around and researching for a couple hours I realized I wasn't going to get admitted to any school in any capacity that would allow me to get CLEP units transfered in.

I am planning to do LSU online or most likely Western Governors University and just pay the $3k or $4k for 6 months of access and knock out a bunch of random online classes.

There is a service, designed for teachers, where the school will put the CLEP examinations on a transcript for you. I think it cost 500$, but it's worth it for a one time deal, assuming you need 30 credit hours. The schools might provide a transcript for a fee like this as well. Typically, these places award a lot of credits for the CLEP tests as well. For example, at my school, the college mathematics CLEP would earn 3 credits. If I used this transcript service, I would have earned 6 credits for it, instead of the 3, which I ended up earning. The only reason I didn't use this service was cost. I had completed everything, but 3 credits worth of classes/CLEP exams. I'd rather pay $80+study a bit than pay the $500 for a single class. If all I needed was a transcript for 30 credit hours, I would have definitely taken this route.

B=84 This exam was such a b**** that I thought I failed-don't know how these things work
A=76 Slacker I am, I'll happily take it
R=81 I LOVE taxes
F=80 I don't wanna get banned for an expletive I'm thinking with "yea" proceeding it

Does anyone know what service this is? Or are they still in business? Thank you

Like others have said- all depends on your school. I strongly recommend credit by exam. 31 of my 151 hours were by exam which let me start sitting at 21, and graduate with my master's at 22. I have a lot of experience with a variety of subjects. I didn't ever do Spanish, but I know you can get up to 12 hours at my school from it if you do well enough.

I definitely wish they made more freshman know about CBE and the opportunities. Of course, they would rather you pay full tuition price than about $100 for 3 hours 🙂
