Hello, Vivers! In the article we published last week, we told you What are the exams for the general phase of access to Higher Grade?. But like the majority of students who take the higher-level vocational training entrance exams in Madrid, you must also take the specific subjects, whether those from the Science, Technology or Social Sciences and Humanities option, in this article you will find We are going to tell what the exams are like for the subjects that make up this phase. This part of the exam consists of two subjects, depending on the option for which you take the exam:

  • Technology Option: Physics and Technical Drawing.
  • Science Option: Biology and Chemistry.
  • Social Sciences and Humanities Option: Geography and Economics.

You already know that this year the exams in May. We are going to explain to you what the exams for the specific subjects of the FP entrance exams are like and give you some advice. And if you prefer to have Lara tell it to you, you can watch her videos from the option Technology, of that of Science, or of that of Social Sciences and Humanities.

Exams of specific subjects of the FP access tests: Technology option

The Technology option of the specific phase of the FP access tests is made up of the Technical Drawing and Physics exams.

Physics

  • Length: approximately 4 questions.
  • Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Bring to the exam the same calculator (non-programmable) with which you have been preparing for the exams.
  • If you must solve a problem in which you have to apply formulas, first solve the unknown, and then substitute the data. You will see how the calculations are simpler.
  • When you have obtained the answer to each problem, take a moment to think about whether the result makes sense. 

Technical drawing

  • Length: approximately 4 questions.
  • Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Invest in a good compass and a good mechanical pencil or 2H pencil.
  • Before starting to solve the exam, make a rough sketch to get an idea of ​​the result you expect to obtain.
  • The most important thing is that you try to be as precise as you can since the final result of each problem will depend largely on your precision and thoroughness.

Science option exams

The Science option of the specific phase of the FP access tests is made up of the Biology and Chemistry exams.

Biology

  • Length: approximately 4 questions.
  • Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prepare the entire syllabus. Don't leave any topic unstudied, because anything can happen. If you do not have much time to prepare, try to review all the contents instead of having half of the syllabus very well prepared.
  • This subject has a very extensive vocabulary of its own, so it is recommended that you prepare a glossary with these words. With short and clear definitions, so that they allow you to identify them and use them in the appropriate context.
  • Draw pictures. For example, one way to study the cell is by drawing pictures of its organelles. If you see exams from other years, you will be able to see that there are both questions with drawings that ask us to identify what they are, and questions in which they ask us to draw them. If we have practiced before, it will be less difficult for us to do it in the exam.

Chemicals

  • Length: approximately 5 questions.
  • Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • We advise you to make a “cheatbook”. That is, extract the concepts and formulas most used in the exercises; So when we are faced with an issue, it will help us be clear about what topic it corresponds to and what we have to apply in each case. Be careful, you can't take this cheat sheet to the exam 😀
  • As you do the topic exercises, justify everything you do. It is very important that you get into the habit of explaining the answers because this way you will understand their development and acquire the ability to relate the data to give accurate conclusions.

Exams corresponding to the Social Sciences and Humanities option

The Social Sciences and Humanities option of the specific phase of the vocational training entrance exams is made up of the Business Economics and Geography of Spain exams.

Business Economics

  • Length: approximately 6 questions.
  • Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Review the entire theory, since it is quite simple if you prepare it properly. You can rely on the most frequently asked questions from previous years' exams and other similar tests.
  • For the problem part, try to memorize the formulas by doing exercises. It is the best method to keep them in your head.
  • In general, economics problems do not require very complicated calculations. You may be able to reach the solution relatively easily. The simplest solution is probably the correct one.

Geography of Spain

  • Length: approximately 7 questions.
  • Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Study with a map of Spain always at your side. Thus, as you memorize the contents you will be able to relate them to physical and political geography. You will see how you learn better, and it will not be so difficult for you.
  • The technical exercises (climograms, cliseries, pyramids, etc.) have a resolution methodology, so it is important that you learn what the steps are to solve these exercises.
  • Make a glossary with the definitions included in the syllabus. When preparing this glossary you should familiarize yourself with the lexicon of the subject. 

Now that you know the structure of the exams for the specific subjects of the higher degree vocational training entrance exams in the branches of Technology, Sciences and Social Sciences and Humanities, it's time for the most fun part: studying. Remember that you can see the solved exams on our website and also the videos in which the academy teachers solve the exams on our YouTube channel.

  • Organize your ideas before writing the summary, the argumentative text or the literature topic. That is, think about what you are going to write, and how you are going to organize it, and then write your response.

  • We will never recommend that you prepare for an exam only by practicing standard exercises, but when you have studied the entire syllabus, dedicate a few study sessions to practicing the most typical exercises in this syllabus. Don't you know what they are? Ask your teacher 🙂
