Andalusian students will not be able to use their grade in the History of Spain and History of Philosophy exam to raise their selectivity grade in the admission phase (which was previously known as the specific phase and which serves to raise it from a 10 to a 14), as this newspaper reported a month ago. Although the recent agreement of the inter-university coordinating commission of the Baccalaureate evaluation test for access and admission to the university (PEvAU) has introduced an important nuance: Students who want to study at a university outside Andalusia, where they do If these subjects are considered, they may take the History or Philosophy exam in the admission phase.
It is the solution provided by the commission in charge of planning the test (made up of representatives of the departments of Educational Development and Vocational Training and of University, Research and Innovation, as well as the nine public universities in the community that offer degree studies. ) to the different interpretations of the regulations that have given rise to the ministerial order that regulates the test and that left it to the discretion of the autonomies whether or not to include these subjects in the admission phase. Thus, Andalusia, Galicia, Murcia, Catalonia and the Valencian Community have not taken them into account in the phase to raise the grade. The rest of the communities do. In this way, a situation of inequality has been created between students from both communities.
In Andalusia, History of Philosophy cannot be used to raise grades in exams since this course is the first in which the changes introduced in the new state educational law, Lomloe, take effect. Among these modifications, what stands out is precisely the consideration of this subject as common and mandatory in all Baccalaureates, therefore, it will become a subject of examination in the access phase of the PEvAU. On the other hand, the autonomous community will not take into consideration for the Andalusian territory the guideline set by the central Government that allows the History of Spain to help students improve their grade. In this way, this subject will not be given weight in the Admission Phase in general and will continue to be an evaluable discipline in the Access Phase as it has been until now.
However, those who wish to opt for an academic institution outside the Single University District of Andalusia that does take into account the qualification of History of Spain and History of Philosophy in their access processes may register in the admission phase in one of these two common subjects, not coinciding with the one chosen in the access phase. In any case, such registration will not entail possible consideration to improve your grade in the Andalusian public system.
Calendar
As already published, Andalusian students from Baccalaureate and Higher Level Vocational Training will take the Baccalaureate Assessment Test for University Access (PEvAU) on June 4, 5 and 6 in its ordinary call, The exams for the extraordinary edition are scheduled for July 2, 3 and 4.
In accordance with the guidelines established by the Ministries of Education and Science and in accordance with what was approved by the interuniversity coordinating commission, the tests are structured in two phases following the criteria of previous courses. The access phase, the completion of which is mandatory to access the university, is made up of three compulsory subjects: Spanish Language and Literature, a Foreign Language - German, French, English, Italian or Portuguese - and History of Spain or History of Philosophy . Added to these are a fourth modality discipline to choose between Musical Analysis II, Performing Arts II, General Sciences, Artistic Drawing II, Latin II, Mathematics II, or Mathematics Applied to Social Sciences II. The maximum grade that can be achieved in this part is ten points and the score obtained, together with the average grade of the Baccalaureate record, make up the access grade that will be calculated by weighting 40% of the PEvAU grade and 60 % of the final Baccalaureate grade. It will be understood that the access requirements are met when the result of this weighting is equal to or greater than 5 points.
For its part, in the admission phase, which is voluntary to raise grades, students can take exams in up to four disciplines, although only the grade of the two most favorable for the chosen degree or degrees will be computed. Any of the 26 subjects that make up the evaluation are eligible, with the exception of Spanish Language and Literature and History of Spain. You can also raise your grade by taking the exam in a second language other than the one in the access phase or by using the score obtained in the modality subject of said phase if you have five or more points. Each subject has a weight between 0 and 0.2, depending on the grade in which admission is requested and the maximum grade to achieve in this phase is four points.
