Estudio comparado de los resultados de las pruebas de acceso a la universidad en Cataluña, Comunidad Valenciana y País Vasco.

Abstract

We study the results of entrance examinations to the University of Catalonia, Community of Valencia and Basque Country, through the results obtained in June 2011 and we analyze the evolution of the entrance examinations results in courses 08-09, 09- 10 and 10-11. In the study of choice of modality�s subjects we establish that Mathematics II, Economics and Geography are typical subjects of the general phase, while the Chemistry, Biology and Physics are typical of the specific phase. The Community of Valencia has certain distinctive characteristics with respect to the other two as: there is a slight upward tendency on the average mark and pass rate, higher average scores for the same subject in the specific phase that in the general phase, higher cut-off marks for access to certain university degrees, inclusion of a greater number of subjects with weight 0.2 and much better results in the access system for people over 25, 40 and 45.
