Overview

• The PAU took place June 3-5 (nationwide) and June 11-13 in Catalunya under restored pre-pandemic conditions with 90-minute competency-based exams.
• Official results published June 12-13 show a national pass rate exceeding 90%, though several regions recorded slight year-on-year declines.
• Admission scores will be calculated with 60% weighting on Bachillerato grades and 40% on PAU results, with a minimum PAU score of 4 out of 14 required to qualify.
• Spelling errors can deduct up to 10% of a subject’s score and up to 20% in language exams, intensifying focus on accuracy in student responses.
• Education authorities have centralized online waiting lists to manage placement offers and will conduct a second PAU session for around 500 ‘dana’-affected students on July 1-3 with results due July 8 and appeals open July 9-11.
