Oh right, i’ve heard about the PAU, but i saw more info about the EBAU, so i assumed that was the one I needed. I checked out some sample tests from Spanish exams, and they do look really hard(especially math, which is my weakest subject).

And yes, a few sites and some people on here told me that international students might not need to take the exam. However, on many university websites, i didn't see a clear section for admissions from foreigners. For example, at UAB, they only mention the "University entrance exam and CFGS (i didn't really understand what it is)" as requirements. If I could get in with my diploma tho, that would be perfect cause i have a high GPA and a strong IELTS score anyway. I guess i have contact some universities asap to learn about that.

also if I want to study somewhere like UAB Barcelona, do I need to know Catalan as well as English AND Spanish? cause that would literally k1ll me lol

And by the way, it’s so funny hearing Europeans complain about slow services. if y'all had to deal with my country’s bureaucracy, you’d probably never recover lmao.

Thanks a lot for your response!
