I am contemplating participating in a foreign exchange program my junior year to Spain. I live in the USA. I was wondering if anybody has any ideas about this. Also, do you know if it is possible to take the SAT's in a foreign country? What are Spain's laws for visas/passports? What are Spain's law on receiveing credit for school in Spain? If you could answer even one of these questions it would be great. Adios!

You can definitely take the SATs in Spain. Go to collegeboard.com and find out about the process - You will probably need to register for it and look for Spanish cities where this test is provided. If you are going to Spain for a whole academic year, then you will need to apply for a student's visa. The exchange program should be able to help you with this. Hablas espanol fuido? If the answer is no, you may have to repeat your junior year in the US since it will take you about 6 months to become fluent in Spanish and understand the academic subjects. But even more important, is your school willing to accept these credits or give you credits for your year abroad? You will need to talk to your counselor about this.

SAT's are a US thing. You can only take them in US educational institutions. There are such institutions outside the US.
Spain is part of the European Union. You will need a visa in your passport. To get the visa contact the closest Spanish embassy or consulate. They will tell you exactly what you need to apply for a student visa.
Regarding credits you should talk with your school. If it is an official exchange program between your school and the Spanish school your school will have a list of classes you should attend in Spain including how they translate Spanish grades in these classes into credits and grades in their own system.
If the exchange program is not organized or approved by your school I strongly recommend talking with your counselor about the possibilities.

As far as immigration laws,you will need a visa(apply at Spanish Consulate,look in the yellow pages or government listings).You will need a current US passport. Nerve and money saving tip: Start early!

Lol if that is truly.... Corporeal punishment within the university process is infrequent, even in America. Maybe they're afraid that your moms and dads again in England could have conniptions. Why did you cheat within the first position for those who have been fearful of the penalties?
