Then problem 14: a logic puzzle about four friends seated around a table, with conditions like “Ana no está al lado de Carlos” and “Betty está frente a Diana.” She drew a grid. One minute. Two minutes. Her pencil trembled. Then—click—the configuration revealed itself. She bubbled in C.

Esto significa que . Si no sabes una respuesta, es mejor dejarla en blanco. Muchos postulantes fallan por apresurarse a llenar burbujas sin seguridad.

Two weeks later, at 10 a.m., she logged into the PUCP portal. Her hands were cold. The page loaded:

El examen de admisión PUCp consta de varias secciones que evalúan diferentes áreas del conocimiento. A continuación, te presentamos la estructura general del examen:

The exam is roughly long and consists of 120 multiple-choice questions . It is divided into three core competencies: 1. Mathematics (40–48 Questions) Science/Education Tracks: 48 questions. Arts/Letters Tracks: 40 questions.

But problem 27 was a trap. A geometry problem: a triangle inscribed in a semicircle, with an altitude drawn, asking for a length. She knew the Thales theorem, but the numbers were ugly. She spent six minutes. Her pulse raced. She skipped it. Problem 28: probability with two dice— “suma mayor que 9” —she could do that. 10, 11, 12: 6 favorable cases out of 36. Simplify to 1/6. Good.

Problem 29: a system of equations with three variables and a parameter m . She started substituting, but her mind went blank. “Si el sistema tiene infinitas soluciones, halle m.” She remembered: the determinant of the coefficient matrix must be zero. She calculated quickly. m = 2 . She bubbled D.
