Exam sessions and centers 2026

In 2026, two PCE calls will be held. The first will take place in the months of May/June and the second in September.

Application periods

  • May/June call: From March 16 to April 28, 2026 (may undergo minor modifications).

  • September call: From July 1 to July 22, 2026.

Exam Dates

May/June 2026 call

  • Spain: 25 to 29 May
  • Other exam centres: Verify your exam receipt and your email.
  • The exact dates and the schedule of each exam can be found on the exam receipt, once the application has been paid. The dates, schedules, and address of the exam centre may undergo changes, so the receipt must be downloaded again one week before the exams to verify any possible updates.

September 2026 call: The exams will be held from September 2 to 8.

Exam centers 

The PCE may be taken at all UNED exam centers and at those specific centers enabled for the PCE. The complete list of exam centers will be available when making the application. 

It must be taken into account that places in the exam centers are limited. 

Exams at all centers will be held according to the local time of the exam center.

If an exam center is not enabled in your country, send an email to secretaria.selectividad@adm.uned.es before March 31 for the May/June call indicating your problem, so that the exam secretariat can see if it is possible to give you an alternative. For the September call, you have until July 5 to request it. 

The exact dates, the address of the selected exam centre, and the schedule for each exam will appear on the student's application receipt once the corresponding fees have been paid. This receipt is provisional, so it must be downloaded again during the week prior to the start of the exams. Any changes to the schedule or the exam centre address will be communicated to the student by email.
