PEvAU PRECTICE 2B - COMPREHENSION ( NEW FORMAT)

Dear 2B Seniors,

How are you this week? As you already know we have a new type of "PEvAU" test . The calling for 2020 exam includes several changes. Before starting today's assignment, I would suggest checking the "NOVEDADES PEVAU" page on this blog.


You can also see the post that I prepared for you on May 8th for more information.

TODAY'S ASSIGNMENT:

This week you are going to practise with the new model as follows.
CLICK HERE  to download a model of the new university entry test  and be ready to answer the COMPREHENSION SECTION.
You have to choose one of the two test and answer all the questions. The correction criteria are same as always in this section. Use 30 minutes maximum of your time to answer the questions and post the answers on the blog. Corrections will be published at 15.30, so that everybody has time to see the post and write a comment with the answer, so I would ask you to check the blog after the deadline time to see my feedback.

Remember NOT to use a dictionary, use a maximum of 30 minutes, and referenciate the test option ( 1 or 2) in your blog answer.

See you tomorrow with more practice!


Android version : If your are checking the blog from your mobile or tablet , you'll find the "NOVEDADES SELECTIVIDAD-NEW" page in the pull down menu ( you'll see the word "HOME". Just click the arrow and see the options (  then select "NOVEDADES SELECTIVIDAD- NEW").

You can always contact me with any question at arantxaealo@gmail.com. I'll be happy to answer and help.


YOU ARE ALMOST THERE, KEEP UP, YOU CAN DO IT!

    1. Hi Noelia!
      You need to pass your English subject in your senior year, that has nothing to do with your language option in your PEvAU test, so yes, I need you to continue with your English homework. I have to say that the reading skills in a language can help you with your second foreign language too.
      I hope I answered your question.
      You know that you can also take another " Foreing Language" exam in "Selectividad" to upgrade your average mark. I hope I answered your question.
      Best,

      PS. We say " I have a question/doubt"
