The secondary school registers students at their request: in 2026, from 18 to 22 May (until 14:00) for the ordinary sitting and from 15 to 18 June for the extraordinary one. 2026 exams: 2, 3 and 4 June (ordinary) and 30 June, 1 and 2 July (extraordinary). The compulsory phase has 5 exams: Spanish Language and Literature II, Valencian Language and Literature II, a foreign language, History of Spain or History of Philosophy, and a subject from the student's track. In the voluntary phase you can take up to 3 more subjects (4 if one is a second foreign language) to raise your admission mark up to 14 points.
