Foreign Language for University... CLEP or AP?

[John Yingling]

Hi all,

I am a distance student living in China, but getting a BA through a University in America.

It looks like my college accepts both AP and CLEP for the *one year* standard equivalent in Language.

Since I'm in China, obviously Chinese would be a good one to go for.

Spanish could also work due to its ease compared to Mandarin.

Anyone care to compare AP Chinese / Spanish VS. CLEP Chinese / Spanish?

All my research points to AP being tougher, but I'm not sure.

Thanks!
