The CLEP Spanish exam is a test meant to measure the knowledge and ability of students who have completed two years of the language. The test is made up of a listening and reading section both in native vocabulary and structure. I had never taken a Spanish class throughout my academic career. In high school, I instead took French for three years. When I go into college I sought to learn Spanish on my own with the help of duo lingo and a strict schedule. The past few years of learning Spanish allowed me to take the test and surpass the necessary score. This exam stood as an important symbol for me that dedication and self-determination can grant anything that you want.
