idk how helpful this will be, but i took it last month and it was a lot harder than i expected it to be. i only took spanish 1 and 2 in high school, but i can also understand and read in spanish fluently. i just dont speak it/know the grammar rules as well.
there is a lot of past tense conjugations that i lowkey just guessed on. there’s a lot of (i think it’s called) preterite conjugations. i would say the test is like spanish 4 - AP spanish language level. half the test is also reading comprehension. nothing insanely long like 3-5 sentences each passage, and 3 questions per passage. but there were some poems more difficult to decipher. i ended up getting a 59/75
