Five hundred secondary school baccalaureate students participate in the IQS "Get Ready for the University Entrance Exams" workshops

Events Prospective students 24 February 2025
A total of 503 high school students from schools in Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, and Andorra recently participated in one or more of the "Get Ready for the University Entrance Exams" workshops organized by IQS for the sixth consecutive year.

A total of 503 high school students from schools in Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, and Andorra recently participated in one or more of the “Get Ready for the University Entrance Exams” workshops organized by IQS for the sixth consecutive year.

For yet another year, in view of how highly regarded the previous editions were, IQS held an activity aimed at secondary school baccalaureate students so they could practice some of the experimental work that might come up during the Chemistry university entrance exam.

As set out in the Guidance document for the Chemistry University Entrance exam, the 2025 Chemistry test aims to have students prove that they hold the specific competences that form part of the curriculum of the Baccalaureate Chemistry subject. The types of questions that may appear in the exam include formats that could address problem solving, describe experimental procedures, or interpret and analyse experimental work.

In order to contribute to preparing for the exam, IQS chose five practice exercises that were offered in an online format. Specifically, the workshops offered in this year’s edition included: 1. Experimental determination of the heat of a reaction; 2. Experimental observation of the direction of displacement of an equilibrium when the concentration, pressure, or temperature vary; solubility of poorly soluble ionic compounds; and 5. Experimental determination of a battery’s EMF.

Under the leadership of Dr M. Victoria Codera, an IQS professor with the Department of Analytical and Applied Chemistry, and with the help of PhD student Laura Angulo, each of the scheduled sessions was held in a virtual format during the months of January and February, reaching a total of ten sessions. Registration was required but free, and the participants were given documentation in advance. Each session began with an explanatory lecture to help the students understand the dynamics of working in a laboratory. Dr Codera then conducted the experiment, combining images previously recorded in the laboratories and shared during the session, along with explanations and questions that she asked the attendees. As the session progressed, the attendees had to prepare a report of conclusions that helped them better understand the work that was done which could later be used for further study.

The 503 registered participants could sign up for more than one session, so a total of 1,920 registrations were made in this year’s edition, mostly secondary school baccalaureate students, but also science teachers from schools primarily in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. Specifically, students from the following schools in Barcelona enrolled in the sessions: Amor de Dios, Canigó, Centro Monlau, Colegio Montserrat, CFA Layret, Colegio Scala Dei, Concepcionistas, Escuela Pérez Iborra, Escuela Pía Sarrià-Calassanç, Escuela Voramar, ETP Javier, FEDAC Amílcar de Riquer, IES Anna Gironella de Mundet, IES Dr. Puigvert, IES J.V.
