The entrance exams are regulated by Resolution EDF\/368\/2025, dated February 7, and its amendment EDF\/670\/2025, dated February 28, and consist of two parts. Part A<\/strong> is assessed as Pass<\/em> or Fail<\/em>. Part B<\/strong> accounts for 100% of the final grade and determines the ranking of candidates for each specialty. Each candidate may apply for up to two options<\/strong> of specialty<\/a>, field, or modality. In the case that one specialty is non-interpretative and the other is in performance or pedagogy, the candidate must complete all the Part A tests established for both specialties.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
