Joven del Sename was one of the 180 national scores of the PDT

Matías Muñoz (19) celebrated yesterday with a “kind of eleven” with his close ones the 850 points he obtained in the mathematics test of the Transition Test. He wants to study Medicine at the University of Chile and says that this year, the second year he gives it, his strategy worked.” I really like to read, but I know that in language I don’t do well, so I calculated how to do it. To get in, I needed to have a national score in mathematics and for that I did a daily essay, all year round,” he tells this media. Matías lives in a family residence (exSename) in Talcahuano. He says that after leaving school he understood that “I had to take my future seriously”, so in 2021, a graduate of the school, he prepared the full year at the Pedro de Valdivia pre-university with a social scholarship. He says that when he left to give the math test he had doubts. “I saw questions I had never asked before, it was about five or six. In the end I answered them to the discard, but it seems that it worked,” he admits with a laugh. The young penquista thus became one of the 180 national scores that the PDT had, a test that this year yielded 22% fewer maximum scores than in 2021. The greatest drop was in mathematics precisely, where they went from 218 to 144.Part of those who achieved it were received yesterday in La Moneda by President Sebastián Piñera, after which the authorities made a positive balance of the process. The Undersecretary of Higher Education, Juan Eduardo Vargas, highlighted the reduction of the gap between graduates of humanistic scientific and technical professional colleges, since in all the tests there were fewer points of difference than in previous years. That was a serious problem of the PSU that we have overcome very well, “emphasized the director of demre, Leonor Varas, who attributed it to the changes that have been made to the contents of the test in the last two processes.
