PAU Resources for Illes Balears
Key changes of PAU 2025:
In Baleares, the Use of English section has been simplified and now includes only a dialogue-completion task, where students choose the best reply out of 4 options. The rest of the exam remains the same: True/False and Justify questions, Open Comprehension questions, “find the word/expression in the text” tasks, and a 120–150 word writing task.
