PAU / Selectivitat Calculadora
Calculate your nota d'accés (out of 10) and nota d'admissió (out of 14) using the standard Catalonia formula.
Nota d'accés = 0.6 × Batxillerat + 0.4 × Fase General
Nota d'admissió = Nota d'accés + (best two weighted specific subjects)
What is a selectivitat calculadora?
A selectivitat calculadora helps you estimate your university access score in Catalonia before official results are published. It combines your Batxillerat average with your PAU (Selectivitat) exam marks and applies the same weighting logic used for admissions. This lets you compare your estimate with recent notes de tall (cut-off marks) and build a realistic application strategy.
How this calculator works
1) Base score: Nota d'accés (0–10)
Your access grade is calculated using:
- 60% Batxillerat average
- 40% Fase General score
This produces a score out of 10. In many cases, students also need to meet minimum conditions (for example, a minimum Fase General score) for access to be valid.
2) Admission score: Nota d'admissió (0–14)
For competitive programs, universities can add weighted points from the specific phase. Typically:
- Only the two best weighted contributions are used.
- Weights are normally 0.1 or 0.2 depending on the degree and subject.
- Subjects under a certain threshold (often 5.0) generally do not add points.
The calculator applies these rules and caps your final score at 14.00.
Why students use this tool
- To estimate admission chances for high-demand degrees like Medicine, Engineering, Psychology, or Business.
- To see how much each specific subject helps based on 0.1 vs 0.2 weighting.
- To set realistic goals before final enrollment deadlines.
- To compare multiple scenarios (best case, expected case, conservative case).
Practical tips for better planning
Check degree-specific weighting tables
Not every subject gets the same multiplier for every degree. A subject weighted at 0.2 for one program might be 0.1 for another. Always verify official weighting tables from universities or regional admissions portals.
Prioritize high-impact subjects
If two subjects have similar expected grades, the one with a 0.2 weight is usually more valuable than one with 0.1. Strategic exam choices can significantly improve your final admission score.
Model several scenarios
Try optimistic and conservative score combinations. This gives you a smarter preference list and reduces stress when final results arrive.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Entering scores outside the 0–10 range.
- Using old weighting rules from previous years.
- Assuming all specific subjects count (only the best two weighted contributions are added).
- Ignoring minimum requirements for valid access.
Quick example
Suppose a student has:
- Batxillerat average: 8.20
- Fase General: 7.40
- Specific subjects: Mathematics 8.0 (0.2), Physics 7.5 (0.2), History 8.5 (0.1)
First, the calculator computes nota d'accés from Batxillerat and Fase General. Then it selects the two biggest weighted contributions (in this case likely Mathematics and Physics) and adds them. The resulting score can then be compared against recent cut-off marks.
Final note
This selectivitat calculator is designed as a planning aid. Final admissions always depend on official calculations and yearly regulations. Use it to prepare smarter applications, identify your strongest subject strategy, and approach university selection with confidence.
