My schedule tells me I'm in Spanish 3 freshman year of high school. Did they make a mistake?

What happened is you probably placed so well on the test that you tested out of Spanish 1 and 2. It can happen. They probably think you are a native speaker, too. I took Spanish 3, it is not difficult. Hasta luego.

Simple. Your confidence level in the subject is the determining factor. When I was in college, my worry was in Qualitative Analysis (chemistry) before there were Gas Chromatographs to prove your results.

If you are confident enough, and you are sure of your ability, a few mistakes will not adversely affect your performance. Be willing to accept guidance/criticism when it is offered in good faith.

As an apprentice in an engineering department of a tool and die shop, I was placed in the advanced blueprint reading AND advanced shop mathematics classes because the instructor knew that I had an Engineering DEGREE and that it would be wasting our time for me to sit in the introductory classes.

Now at my new job, I am an engineer and a member of Management because I accepted the advancement and responsibility that comes with the decisions which I agreed to take on.

Someone once said that we all rise to the level of our own incompetence (not sure who said that).

This is true, but they should have added that our self confidence is the TRUE limiting factor.

When you do your best, the world will actually reward you.

Yes, you can skip Spanish 2. That's why you took the placement test -- to determine the best "place" for you.

Congratulations! But you'll have your work cut out for you for the first few weeks.
