Students Who Passed With InstantCert

By far the best source for Spanish 1 on the market. I earned college credit in about 2 weeks and transferred credit to my school. There isn't a better self pace product out there.

I was a member for 1 month and was able to CLEP 3 classes: Introductory Sociology, Ethics in America, Here's to Your Health. Unbelievable, but I passed all three. InstantCert is great and it works…I will be telling all my friends.
— Jim Marx, Omaha, Nebraska
I used InstantCert to reacquaint myself with Spanish before taking the CLEP Spanish 1/2 test after a long break away from the language. Proud to say that I passed my exam and wish everyone the best in their efforts as well.
— Mike Stewart, Tacoma, WA
Yup! It gave me the exact feel of the exam, so I could feel comfortable on the day and after the first practice exam, I wasn't worried at all. Additionally, the program tells you what you need to work on and study with resources and sites for you to excel. Great program & I got a 75 out of 80 on my Spanish Language CLEP!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to already speak Spanish to pass this exam?

Not necessarily. Our guide includes a 50-day Spanish course designed to take you from beginner to exam-ready. If you already have some Spanish background—from high school, travel, or heritage—you'll move through the material even faster.

How many credits can I earn?

The Spanish Language CLEP awards credits at two levels. A score of 50 earns 6 semester credits (equivalent to two semesters of college Spanish). A score of 63 or higher earns 9 credits—the equivalent of up to four semesters. That makes it one of the highest-credit CLEP exams available.

What does the exam look like?

The exam has about 121 questions and takes roughly 90 minutes. It's split into two listening sections (30 minutes combined) and one reading section (60 minutes). Our 3 practice exams mirror this format exactly so there are no surprises on test day.

How does the audio/listening part work?

You'll wear headphones at the test center. The first listening section plays short exchanges and you choose the best response. The second plays longer dialogues and narratives with comprehension questions. Audio plays only once, which is why practicing with our 204 audio questions beforehand is so valuable.

Do I only get the Spanish Language guide?

No—your $20/month subscription gives you access to all 60+ study guides covering CLEP, DSST, and TECEP exams. Many members use InstantCert to pass multiple exams and earn a semester's worth of credits (or more) in a single month.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with InstantCert for any reason, just contact us within 30 days for a full refund. You can also cancel your subscription at any time—there are no contracts or commitments.
