Spanish university entrance examinations
Selectividad is the popular name given to the Spanish University Admission Tests ("Evaluación de Bachillerato para Acceso a la Universidad", E.B.A.U. or Ev.A.U.), a non-compulsory exam taken by students after secondary school, necessary to get into University. Students must take six 90-minute written exams over three days in June or September, consisting of common and specific subjects taken in "Bachillerato" (the last two non-compulsory years of secondary education). Selectividad exams are set by the Public Universities of each autonomous community and allow students access to the Spanish university system.
