The takeaway is clear: reviewing your notes isn't enough. You need to train under the real exam conditions: 90 minutes, negative marking in the test (−0.2 per wrong answer), answering at most 5 of the 8 questions and, in Matemáticas, with no calculator of any kind.

Choose your exam
Matemáticas
- 90 minutes, bilingual Spanish–English wording
- Test of 8 questions: you answer at most 5 (+0.5 / −0.2)
- 3 long-answer problems (7.5 of the 10 points)
- No calculator allowed — and showing your working counts: the answer alone earns no marks
Matemáticas Aplicadas (MACS)
- 90 minutes, 4 blocks of 2.5 points
- Test of 8 questions (+0.5 / −0.2) and competency-based problems
- Basic calculator allowed, N(0,1) table included in the exam
- Up to −1 point for expression and presentation
Heads-up: many blogs still describe the old MACS format. The above is the format from the official 2025-26 guides, in force for the PCE 2026.

A tool, not another academy
Online PCE academies cost between €65 and €130 a month per subject. They're great if you're after lessons with a teacher; but if what you need is to practise until you've mastered the format, paying a monthly fee makes little sense. PracticaPCE is your exercise gym: you pay for a pass once and train without limits.
| Online academy | PracticaPCE | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | €65–130/month per subject | From €14.99, one-time, VAT included |
| Subjects | Charged per subject | Matemáticas and MACS included in the same pass |
| Model | Scheduled lessons | Practice at your own pace, whenever you like |
| Exercises | Fixed exercise banks and PDFs | Unlimited variations, PCE-style, 100% original |
| Commitment | Recurring monthly fee | One-time payment, no auto-renewal |
And to be clear: we don't replace a teacher. If you go to an academy, use us alongside it to practise; if you're studying on your own, we're your training tool. See pricing →
What are the PCE?
The Pruebas de Competencias Específicas (PCE) are the exams run by UNEDasiss — the UNED service for international students — for access to Spanish universities. You pass an exam with a 5 out of 10, and your marks count towards your nota de admisión (the admission mark used to rank applicants). You can register for up to 6 subjects per exam session (convocatoria).
The wording of the Matemáticas and MACS exams is bilingual (Spanish and English), but you answer in Spanish — which is why here you train in the language of the exam. There are exam centres in Spain and abroad (Paris, Brussels, London…).
In 2026 there were two exam sessions: the ordinary one, with exams from 25 to 29 May in Spain (June at centres abroad), and the extraordinary September session, with exams from 2 to 8 September. The 2027 calendar is not out yet — we track what is known on the PCE exam dates 2027 page.
Studying in France or coming from an EU upper-secondary diploma? In your case the PCE are optional: they serve to raise your nota de admisión. There's a French version of the site.
