What is the Higher Degree Access Test?
Free tests to access Higher Level Vocational Training are an excellent way to access higher education without previous studies. This is a facilitation for those people who, for whatever reasons, were not able to finish ESO or high school and wish to return to study. The magic of this is precisely that you do not need to start from where you left off, but rather take a few simple exams to obtain direct access to the desired study.
Requirements
In general, in order to present this evidence, it is necessary to meet 2 requirements:
- Be 19 years old or older in the year the test is held.
- Not have any qualification such as Technician (Intermediate Degree), high school or university degree.
It is possible that each CCAA, which organizes them, may request additional requirements, so we always recommend knowing the bases of the current call.
Characteristics of the PAGS exams
- The exams are divided into subjects from the General Phase and the Specific Phase. The Specific Phase (Social, Science, Technology) is determined by the area or scope of the Higher Degree study that you want to carry out.
- There is one call per year in each CCAA. It is possible that in some regions there will also be another extraordinary one. The exams are usually in the months of May or June.
- If you have the ESO, by passing this test you get the Equivalent to high school, valid for many oppositions.
Advantages of taking the test
- Save of time and money. It is not necessary to start studying from the beginning or finish studies that have been abandoned. With this simple test you save years of studying in high school or secondary school.
- Intermediate level exams. The tests are affordable, where if you study you can pass without problems. If you want to get a grade, it is necessary to extend the study hours further, but getting the pass is not complicated.
- Possibility of presenting tests in various CCAA. In some regions there are restrictions, but in many there are not, so you can take several exams a year to have more opportunities.
- Possibility of presenting fewer subjects. It is possible to request an exemption from the Specific Phase due to work experience, so there would be fewer subjects to study.
How can I prepare for these tests?
The exams must be prepared, since although they have medium-level content, each region or CCAA has its own characteristics. It is necessary to know in advance the evaluable syllabus, the registration and exam dates, the exemptions and the type of exam. Therefore, we recommend taking the preparation with an academy specialized in it, such as M25 Academy. They have teachers, coordinators, updated syllabi, previous exams and much more so that you can go with the best preparation and ensure your access.
