Important advice for future students (and of course their parents!)

I would recommend taking the number below your high school class (ie., you completed Spanish 3 in high school, take Spanish 2 in college) rather than level 1, which is going to be a lot of busy work - lots of pointless hours recording and completing online assignments that count for your grade even though you already know the material.

Because high school and college language courses do vary in terms of how quickly they cover content, a student with some knowledge of the foreign language (e.g. through high school course work) should check the college’s placement recommendations to find out what the best placement in that language is.
