Summary: Excellent Study source
Comment: This is by far (in my opinion) the best study source for the Spanish CLEP,
the actual test is easier than some of the practice tests in this book.
I studied for like a month and aced the test!
Highly recommended and Good luck!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great study guide for the Clep test!
Comment: This book is great! With cd's to practice listening and speaking and multiple up-to-date tests, this book is the best Spanish CLEP Prep book on the market.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Fair But Full of Errors
Comment: I got this book as a study guide to use along side personal lessons I was taking to prepare for the test. Both my professor and I found numerous mistakes in the grammer in both the written and spoken parts of the test, as well as several mistakes in the prep areas. Also, the person who wrote this book is clearly not a native spanish speaker, for in many places they use idioms that are very american, and its clear that their english grammer peeks on more than one occasion.
None the less, the book wasn't entirely usless, it did help. I wouldn't call it the BEST review for the test, but it atleast does provide some clue as to what the test will be like.
If you can find another book for the same price that comes with audio, get it instead.

Summary: Good source for study. Very close to the real tests.
Comment: I tested for the 12 credit exam and passed with a very high score (had to in order to get the 12 credits).
The material was very close to the actual test. Some of the pronunciation quizzes had a harsh accent, but it wasn't a problem to understand the conversations. It was very useful to practice with the preparation tests that came in the CDs.

Summary: This is an excellent review source!
Comment: This page says that the review guide was published in 1998; however, the one I recieved from Amazon was copyright 2003 and printed in 2006.
That said, this is an excellent source for reviewing for the test. It has three practice tests, with comprehensive explanations for EVERY correct and incorrect answer for each of the tests. It is also very helpful to listen to the included cds--it gives you a fairly accurate feel of how the real CLEP test will be.
The beginning of the book goes through every part of basic Spanish--everything from pronunciations to verb conjugation. Though it doesn't have the glitzy pictures of my college textbook (there are no pictures, actually), I feel that it is better organized and easier to follow. If you really spend the recommended time with this resource, I believe that passing the CLEP exam will not be really difficult. I passed the exam--but I also used (like I said earlier) a college textbook to augment my studies. Even so, the practice tests and accompanying explanations are very helpful. If anything, the CLEP exam I took seemed easier than the practice exams in this guide.
Highly recommended. I also recommend "501 Spanish Verbs"--that was a good guide for learning verb conjugation.
*I would like to note that the included cds that I received were mis-labeled, meaning that cd A is really cd B and vice-versa. Obviously not a big deal, just a little bothersome at first.
