Complete guide to Selectividad 2024

Are you looking forward to starting your time at university? The answer is probably yes. But first you will have to take the Selectividad and decide which degree and which university to start at. Are you nervous? Don’t worry! At Unihabit we explain in detail everything you need to know about the Selectividad.

It is normal that at the point where you are now you have a lot of doubts about the Selectividad, such as: Which electives to choose? How much marks does each one get? When and where to pre-register and register? etc. Below, we answer all your doubts about the Selectividad 2024!

The selectividad consists of two phases: the compulsory part and the voluntary part.

• Compulsory part: consists of 4 exams with the basic subjects of the baccalaureate: language and literature, history, first foreign language (English, French, German, Italian or Portuguese), and finally the subject corresponding to the modality of the baccalaureate you are studying.
• The second phase is completely voluntary. In this phase, the student must choose a minimum of 2 subjects and a maximum of 3. Depending on each subject and each university, the score assigned for each subject will vary according to the cut-off marks for university degrees. Once the student has registered, he/she can choose to take only one subject in this phase. At Unihabit, we recommend that you take at least two subjects, especially if the university degree you want to study is in high demand, or if the cut-off mark for university entrance is high.

If you are in the second year of baccalaureate and you want to take the Selectividad 2024 exams to start a university degree the following year, one of the most important things you should know is the pre-registration and enrolment period. But first, you should know that there are two types of exam dates: the ordinary exam date and the extraordinary exam date.

The ordinary call:

• Pre-registration for the exam for 2nd Baccalaureate students in Catalonia: 16 to 29 February 2024.
• Registration for the examination for students in the 2nd year of the baccalaureate in Catalonia and students in the final year of Higher Level Vocational Training Cycles or those who have already completed it: 13 to 23 May 2024.
• Free registration for the rest of the students who are not currently studying the 2nd year of the baccalaureate in Catalonia, nor have a Higher Level Training Cycle: 2 to 9 May 2024.

Extraordinary call:

• Registration for the exam: 22 to 25 July 2024.

To pre-register and register for the Selectividad 2024, you must access the university access portal within the deadlines established for each call, as mentioned above. To access the portal you must first register to create a username and password.

To register for the university entrance exam, the student’s documentation will already appear in the student profile on the university access portal.

If you are a student who has completed the baccalaureate outside Catalonia and you want to register for the university entrance exam, you must present the following documentation:

• The official document with your university entrance qualifications, if you have passed the baccalaureate assessment test for university entrance.
• The academic certificate of the baccalaureate with the final grade if you have not passed the baccalaureate assessment test for university entrance.

If you are a student from a foreign education system and you meet the requirements to obtain the homologation of your studies in the Spanish baccalaureate:

• Credential of homologation of the Spanish baccalaureate diploma.
• Flyer for conditional enrolment, which accredits the presentation of the documentation for the application for the homologation of foreign non-university degrees or studies.

In addition to registration and enrolment, it is important that you take into account key dates such as the day the exam board and exam venue are assigned, the days of the exam, when the results are released and the key days to make allegations or request an exam revision. Below we detail each of these days so that you don’t miss any of them, whether you are taking the exam in the ordinary or extraordinary call!
