It’s possible that your daughter’s Spanish curriculum is really good, and that she doesn’t have a problem. Also, if she takes the test after only taking Level 4, nobody is going to expect her to get an 800. 700 would be a fine result for her, although it would be a disappointment to a student who had completed Level 5. I just wanted to recommend that she try a sample test (preferably one where the results can be converted into a numerical score) so that there would be no surprises.

Students need to complete their SAT II tests by fall of their senior year, so there isn’t a whole lot of difference between taking the test in June and taking it in, say, November. Also, many colleges look only at the two highest SAT subject test scores, so if your daughter takes two tests in the spring and is disappointed by one of her scores, she could always pick a third subject to study for over the summer and then take that test in the fall.
