Free Practice Questions for PAU Mathematics II (Cantabria)

No, and it is important to know the difference. The official Cantabria PAU paper for Matemáticas II is a 90-minute exam sat in Spanish and structured around four compulsory open/semi-constructed exercises worth 2.5 points each (Algebra, Mathematical Analysis, Geometry in 3D, and Probability & Statistics), where the Algebra, Analysis, and Probability exercises each offer a choice between two options and the Geometry exercise is a single compulsory task. Candidates must show full written working — a calculator may only be used as an aid and comprobación, and results obtained exclusively from a calculator without written development are not credited. The real exam never uses multiple-choice format. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of the official 2º Bachillerato syllabus — not an official translation, not a past paper, and not a simulation of the exam format. Use it to drill the underlying knowledge and calculation skills quickly, then practise writing out complete, justified solutions with every step shown, because that is what the examiners actually mark.

It is a 90-minute written examination administered at University of Cantabria (UNICAN) designated centers, with four compulsory exercises worth 2.5 points each: Algebra, Mathematical Analysis, Geometry in 3D, and Probability & Statistics. All work must be justified in writing; a calculator may only be used to check results, not to replace shown reasoning.

The exam is graded on a 0–10 scale. In the compulsory Access Phase, a minimum mark of 4.0 is required to combine with Bachillerato GPA (60% Bachillerato + 40% PAU Access Phase >= 5.0). In the Admission Phase, Mathematics II is typically a heavily-weighted subject for STEM, health science, and engineering degree programs.

Based on the University of Cantabria's official June 2026 grading criteria, all four content blocks are weighted equally: Algebra, Mathematical Analysis, Geometry in 3D, and Probability & Statistics each account for 2.5 of the 10 total points (25% each).

Both are 2º Bachillerato mathematics papers administered by UNICAN, but they serve different Bachillerato modalities and cover different content. Matemáticas II is for the Ciencias y Tecnología (Science and Technology) modality and includes 3D vector geometry (lines and planes in space) and more advanced calculus, which Matemáticas Aplicadas a las Ciencias Sociales II (for the Ciencias Sociales modality) does not cover; the latter instead emphasizes financial and social-science applications such as linear programming and statistical inference.

In Cantabria, official PAU examination papers are provided in Spanish.
