To be more specific, would those credits be transferable if I studied abroad in Spain? Would it depend on the University or is it just not possible period?
Get a degree from a Spanish uni? Extremely unlikely. However, uni in Europe is typically 3 years, so many places would already expect you to know material covered by those tests.

Oh, why am I unlikely to get a degree at a Spanish University?
It’s extremely unlikely that you would get any credit for those tests if you get a Spanish degree, though you may need to do well on them to get in.
What scenario do you have in mind?

I think that you need to check with universities in Spain. Admissions people there should know the answer more definitively than folks here on CC.
My daughter will be studying “slightly abroad” in Canada in September, and has gotten notification that she will get credit for her AP exam that she took as a high school student in the US. However, the Canadian system is probably closer to the US system compared to the university system in Spain.
Assuming that you are from the US, one option to think about is to go to a US university or college but do a year abroad in Spain. Nearly every university that we looked at (in both the US and Canada) has an exchange program with one or more universities in Spain.

@DadTwoGirls, right the US and Canada essentially are in one “North American” higher ed framework, just as most of European higher ed is now fully aligned on their side of the pond as well, but the (typically 3 year) European unis are very unlikely to give AP/A-Levels/DE credit.

I should mention that there is SLU-Madrid, though, which obviously follows the American system.
