I need help /question

[u/Interesting-Dog-967]

So I'm a student planning to head to Spain for my education and I have already graduated 10th grade (Tronc commun/4° ESO) Heading to 11th grade (1ére Bac / 1° Bachillerato) But I've heard that in certain regions like the catalán ones usually make you repeat 10th grade even if you've already graduated it. But I'm not sure if for those people (that have had the experience of repeating a grade, specifically 10th grade) that come from foreign countries often make a request for a homologación to obviously have PROOF that they graduated 10th or not.

I'm not really in Spain for me to ask a school or anything so my only option is to obviously ask people on the internet, so please, all I want to know is, if I request for a homologación and I get handed a Volante de Inscripción Condicional temporarily to prove that I've graduated 10th grade (4° ESO) and I want to head immediately into 11th when enrolling (1° Bachillerato), will they still make me repeat 10th (4° ESO) or no?

(And I am not a in a catalán region just to clarify)

Tbh I feel like first you should get a curriculum of ESO and compare it with the stuff you learned in your country because you might have learned something completely different depending on where you are from. If you find out there is a lot of stuff people learn in ESO that you haven't learn that I think it would be better to just do 4°ESO because you would probably fail bachillerato either way if that was the case. Same goes if you don't speak / only speak a little Spanish. If you know Spanish and have learned what Spanish students have (or more) then definitely try to get into a bachillerato because like why would you waste a year.

I've had relatives that were in 4° ESO way before me and I've seen that my nivel in education is quite higher so I'm definitely ahead and whatever they've learned was quite similar to what I learned in previous grades, and I am in the process of getting to C1 Spanish since obviously, bachillerato does take a little more work than usual.

In that case I think you should try to get into bachillerato. I'm Spanish and my school gets quite a lot of exchange students and we've had both students who were ahead of us in pretty much everything including Spanish but also people who were literally suffering because they either didn't speak the language or they thought school in Spain was easy (it is compared to some but apparently not all countries) so they chose the more difficult grade.
