Sprechen Sie Deutsch ?
I need 123 college credits for my degree. At a rate of one class per week, five weeks per class, taking eight courses per year and earning three credits per course, I figured it would take me about five years. So every opportunity to shorten that time is more than welcome.
One very quick way to earn credits is thru a CLEP exam. I like that idea a lot! Why not prove that you acquired valuable knowledge about something somewhere outside a classroom?
Which is why today I took a CLEP test for a subject I master without special preparation: German. I scored a perfect 80 points, the maximum possible, which is worth 12 credits.

good luck; but I doubt that your German CLEP will be accepted when the college does your eval, since you're a native speaker.

Oh, not to worry :-)) I made sure about that before I even scheduled the test. My college will give me the full 12 credits. It really doesn't matter, how you acquire knowledge - CLEP exams are fully accepted at my institution.
