I'm planning on taking the Spanish CLEP and aiming for 12 credits. I took 5 years of Spanish and was adequately conversational, but that was five years ago, and I've been working on getting my grammar up to speed before I take the test.
I've been using the IC-affiliate SpanishHour.com, and taken two practice tests, but I need at least a 68 (!) on the real thing to get 12 credits (my school requires a grade of B or better). I know there are estimates out there for practice test scores, but everything I've read is 1. about Peterson's and 2. aimed at passing, not the kind of astronomical score I need.
I'm supposed to take this tomorrow at noon, and I'm going to do one more practice test tonight. Any feedback from people who have used SpanishHour to prepare, or general advice about how practice tests translate into scores on the foreign language tests? I didn't see anything like this on the test-specific thread.
