Countdown to Exams: PAU Kicks Off in Cantabria
Nervousness, last-minute reviews, dark circles under the eyes, and even a few tears—this will be the general atmosphere in the faculties of Cantabria in the upcoming days as the University Entrance Exam (PAU) begins today. These crucial exams account for a significant percentage of the final score needed to access the desired degree.
Starting this Tuesday, June 3, and running through Thursday, June 5, the PAU in Cantabria is set to challenge students across various subjects. As is customary, the first exam of the day will be Spanish Language and Literature, followed by a brief one-hour break. Then at noon, students will tackle the Philosophy History test.
The next three days may seem endless for some students, but there isn't much to worry about when looking at the data from previous years.
