Book a date to take the entrance exam and attend the exam preparation courses.
You must score a minimum of 900 points in the exam. If you took it at another institution, the minimum score required will be 1000 points.
In order for you to take the entrance examination and attend the exam preparation courses, you must submit all your documentation one week prior to the date of your choice and come to the Office for New Students to have your passes to the tutoring sessions and exams issued.

- 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.
3. Take the English examination
If your score is...
- 499 points or lower, you can sign up for the Bicultural Preparatory School Program.
- 500 puntos or higher, you can sign up for the Multicultural Preparatory School Program and take Advanced English, or a third language, either French or German.
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.
Prepa UDEM accepts TOEFL results from any accredited institution, provided that you submit a document that validates the result. The only official TOEFL-approved examination center is the IMNRC (Mexican-American Institute of Cultural Relations).
