- Revise the PAA (Academic Aptitude Test) Study Guide
You have two opportunities to pass the PAA. If you do not pass it the first time, you will have to wait for at least a month before taking it again. We recommend taking the entrance examination at your middle school. Those results will be considered valid. We suggest you verify the dates at your institution.
If the exam was taken at a different institution, it will be considered as valid if you submit an official document mentioning the score obtained in each one of the areas and the global score is at least 1,000 points. Validity is one year.
We accept a PSAT result of 8/9 or 10 if you submit the original report and meet the minimum score required, equivalent to the PAA.
Remember that you need to obtain a minimum score of 900 points in the Academic Aptitude Test to pass the entrance examination.

If your score is...
- 499 points or lower, you can sign up for the Bicultural Preparatory School Program.

This exam can be taken twice. In extraordinary cases, if a third sitting is required, you will need to receive authorization from the department of languages.
