What's inside PAU Inglés Madrid
This book contains 12 complete practice exams for the English paper of the PAU (Selectividad) in Madrid (formerly EvAU), in the official 2026-27 format: the same five questions, the same task types and the same marking as the real exam. Every text is original. What makes it different from other exam books is what comes after each exam: every answer is explained in Spanish, so students understand their mistakes and stop losing those marks.
12 exams, the five PAU questions
- Question 1: True, False or Not Given, with the sentence from the text that justifies each answer.
- Question 2: two open questions answered in the student’s own words.
- Question 3: five words to find in a given paragraph of the text.
- Question 4: six transformations, four to be chosen, as in the exam.
- Question 5: both writing topics, 140 to 180 words, with lines to write on.
What’s in the key
- Question 1: the exact sentence to copy and its line number, and why a Not Given is not False.
- Question 2: a model correct answer next to an answer copied from the text, which would not score.
- Question 3: each word with its line and the trap to avoid.
- Question 4: every accepted answer, the structure each transformation tests and the typical mistake: 72 explained transformations.
- Question 5: a model writing for each topic, with comments on the six parts of the official marking criteria: 24 model writings.
