so far, I’ve just self-studied the equivalent of 3 years of HS spanish that I forgot. It was from a college textbook. Should I try to study further just in case? My exam is next week so I’m getting really stressed out

For those who took 3 years equivalent of HS spanish, how was the difficulty?

I’ve heard subjunctive and grammar are important.
Will you get a question wrong if you forget the stem-changes for irregular verbs? if you don’t know of the irregular forms of future, imperfect, preterite, etc tenses?
Besides the present subjunctive, what other kinds of subjunctive do I need to know? (like past, pluperfect, etc)
What type of vocab (even though there is only a little bit of it) should I know; for instance: dates, seasons, body parts, weekdays, occupations, time, numbers…etc.

I had really poor HS teachers. Alot of the Spanish I’ve self-studied in the past couple months has actually been new to me.
