Deutsche Welle has some material at this page that presents a good review. Includes audio clips. Click on "Beginner" and work your way through.
Exeter University in the UK includes a page that may be useful.
deutsch-als-fremdsprache has some good resources and links.
For those interested in going beyond the CLEP, the Goethe Institut offers German-language proficiency testing in the USA, including at many universities. I took one of the exams a few years ago.
There is a website similar to InstantCert in which you fill in the blanks and click submit. Can't find it right now. I used that website to review for the Goethe Institut exam. Also listened to various German radio stations over the internet. And spoke often with German friends on the phone.
I sure wish the internet existed when taking my German CLEP test over 20 years ago. Back then, while stationed in Germany, all I had was a Wörtebuch, a grammar book and the local pub.
All jokes aside, immersion is best. But one can learn German reading and listening on their own.
