Universities maintain a more flexible Selectivity in the questions for being a covid course


This year’s Selectivity tests, considered for all purposes by the university authorities a “covid course”, will maintain the facilities that were implemented last year for students, such as a greater possibility of choosing between the questions.

The Department of Universities assumes the ministerial proposal to maintain the format of the previous tests, with its same character of “exceptionality” and, therefore, with the hygienic measures of distance and use of the mask that covid requires.

The preparation of the tests, in process, will follow these indications in the Community, so that instead of choosing between only two options in each exam by subject, which forced them to assume all the questions that the chosen alternative contains, the students will to be able to select the questions they prefer from any of the options and answer the ones they choose from both.

Note

This system, which gives more options and also greater possibilities of improving grades, was implemented two years ago as a result of the outbreak of the pandemic and this course is again extended as a result of the negative evolution of the pandemic.

In addition, this year, as a result of the progressive implementation of the new educational law, Baccalaureate students will be able to take the Selectividad even if they have failed a subject.

This is established by the new law, which allows obtaining the Baccalaureate degree with a fail as something “exceptional” and provided that the teaching team considers that the student has achieved the necessary skills and objectives.

The assumptions that are included to graduate in the second year of Baccalaureate with a fail point to regular class attendance, the completion of all the exams of the course, and that the average of the grades in the set of subjects of the entire stage is equal to or higher than 5. In this way, and even if they have failed a maximum of one subject, they can take the Selectivity.

Qualification

In this regard, the director of the University Access tests at the University of Alicante, Mariola Molina, clarifies that the calculation and qualification of Baccalaureate subjects will be done in the institutes, and that all students with their corresponding Bachelor’s degree. “What counts is the qualification with which it is then averaged”, indicates Molina, regardless of whether they pass the stage with a fail.

However, the director of the tests at the UA estimates that the number of students expected this year in the selectivity exams is similar to that of last year, based on the enrollment of students in the province’s institutes. “It is conceivable that the number of students who will be present will be very similar,” he adds.

Last year, the students who applied for Selectividad slightly exceeded 8,500 between the two universities, from Alicante and Miguel Hernández from Elche, a figure that was already described as historic and that, with a few more Bachillerato passes with a fail, could even go to more.
