The consequences of this act will make you think twice about cheating during the test.
The 2nd year Baccalaureate students risk their academic and professional future during the 3 days that the so-called Ebau, old selectivity, takes place. And this will be the penultimate before the government makes changes to this university entrance exam again. Students are tested on the content they have given throughout the year to exceed the cut-off mark required in each university career.
The final grade to enter the university depends 60% on the Baccalaureate grades and 40% on the grades you get in the Ebau exams. They are months of preparation and study where each student fights for their place in the career they want to study in the next 4 or 5 years. Although some may not be very clear about what they want to study or do not opt for any of the preferred options. These days students feel a lot of pressure and nerves that can cause more than one blockage. Therefore, you have to stay calm to survive the Ebau, but without being tempted to look at the answers of the person next to you because copying is penalized and quite a lot.
The Ebau regulations leave no room for doubt about the consequences of this act. If you are caught cheating in any of the exams, you will have to “immediately abandon the exam of the corresponding subject at the time the fact is detected, being identified by the person in charge of the venue, who will transfer the facts to the presidency of the court ». And not only that, your opportunity to access the career you want ends in this call because you will not be able to take the exams for the rest of the subjects. Thus, you will obtain a total score of 0 points that will relegate you to the next test in July, or September in the case of Catalonia. However, if this happens to you during this extraordinary call, you will have to wait a whole year to re-examine yourself.
