PAU Canary Islands Greek II: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this practice bank in the same format as the real Canary Islands PAU exam?
No, and it is important to know the difference. The official Canary Islands PAU paper is a 90-minute examination sat in Spanish and built around translation of a Classical Greek passage with a dictionary, plus morphology, syntax, etymology and literature questions answered in writing. Under the 2026 PAU design rules agreed by COPAU and the CRUE, open and semi-constructed responses must account for at least 70% of every paper, so the real exam contains no multiple-choice section. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of the same 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 reasoning quickly, then practise translating unseen Greek passages into Spanish with a dictionary separately, because that is what the examiners actually mark.
What is the structure of the PAU Greek II exam in the Canary Islands?
The exam lasts 90 minutes and consists of an authentic Ancient Greek prose passage (typically Xenophon or Lysias) for translation, morphosyntactic identification questions, etymological analysis of Spanish terms derived from Greek roots, and short questions on classical Greek literature, history, and mythology.
How is the final PAU score calculated for university entrance in Spain?
The PAU Access Phase grade is combined with the student's Bachillerato GPA (60% Bachillerato + 40% PAU Access Phase). A minimum mark of 4.0 in the Access Phase is required to combine with the GPA, aiming for a total score of at least 5.0 out of 10.
Which ancient authors are included in the Canary Islands PAU Greek II syllabus?
The primary prose authors studied for translation and syntax analysis are Xenophon (Anabasis, Cyropaedia) and Lysias (Attic oratory), alongside literary studies of Homeric epic, Attic tragedy, and Classical philosophy.
What role does etymology play in the Griego II PAU exam?
Candidates are tested on identifying Ancient Greek root morphemes, prefixes, and suffixes, and explaining how modern Spanish words (e.g. democracia, cefalea, anacronismo) derive morphologically and semantically from Greek roots.
Are these practice questions official COPAU PAU exam items?
No. These 100 practice questions are independently created by OpenExamPrep to cover topics from the official 2nd Bachillerato (LOMLOE) Greek II curriculum for the Canary Islands.
