Frequently Asked Questions
What is the format of the Galicia PAU Lengua Castellana y Literatura II exam?
The official CIUG exam is a 90-minute written examination featuring text analysis (summary, main topic, cohesion/modalization analysis), a syntactical parsing question, a morphological/grammatical question, and literary history questions on standard curriculum topics and mandatory readings.
How is the final PAU mark calculated for admission in Galicia?
The final university admission grade (Nota de Admisión) is calculated combining 60% of the Bachillerato GPA (Nota Media de Bachillerato) and 40% of the PAU Access Phase mark (Calificación de la Fase de Acceso, which includes Lengua Castellana II). A minimum score of 4.0 in the Access Phase is required to calculate the weighted average, which must equal at least 5.0.
What literary works and authors are key for the CIUG Galicia syllabus?
Key curriculum focus areas include Modernismo and Generación del 98 (Antonio Machado, Pío Baroja, Miguel de Unamuno), Valle-Inclán (*Luces de bohemia* and esperpento), Federico García Lorca (*La casa de Bernarda Alba* and Generación del 27), post-war novel (Cela's *La familia de Pascual Duarte*, Laforet's *Nada*, Delibes), experimentalism (Martín-Santos' *Tiempo de silencio*), post-war theater (Buero Vallejo), and post-war poetry through the contemporary era.
What are the common pitfalls in the syntax and grammar section?
Students often lose points by confusing values of 'se' (e.g. mistaking passive reflex 'pasiva refleja' for impersonal 'se' or ethical dative), misidentifying subordinate clause types (e.g. confusing relative clauses without antecedent with substantive clauses), or failing to specify the exact function of relative pronouns ('que', 'quien', 'cuyo') inside subordinate relative clauses.
