However, these students will be able to take the Option Phase of the university entrance exam, to improve their admission note to official university undergraduate courses.

The content of the syllabuses used in the optional exercises will be that established for the curriculum of the optional core subjects for the second year of high school.

The Option Phase will be adjusted to the following criteria:

1. Each student will be able to take the exam a maximum of four weighted subjects of any type of Baccalaureate.
2. Each of the exercises the student takes the exam in this Option Phase will be graded from 0 to 10 points, with two decimal places. The exercise will be considered passed if the student obtains a grade equal to or greater than 5 points. Otherwise, the grade obtained will not be counted toward the assessment.

Admission note to official university undergraduate courses

For admission to official undergraduate university courses, the corresponding admission grade will be used to allocate places. This grade will be calculated using the following formula and expressed with three decimal places, rounded to the nearest thousandth and, in the case of equidistance, to the next decimal place:

• • Admission grade = NMC + ax M1 + bx M2
  • NMC = Average grade of the Vocational Training Cycle
  • M1, M2 = Grades from a maximum of two subjects passed in the optional phase that provide a better admission grade.
  • a, b = weighting parameters for the subjects in the option phase.

The admission grade will include the grades for the subjects in the optional phase, taking into account the correspondence between the subjects and the degree being entered, provided that a minimum grade of 5 has been obtained in that subject. See weighting parameters for subjects in the optional phase for ULL degrees.
