The faculties may stipulate through their own regulations regarding the organization and development of the admission process if in the calculation of the final admission average the marks from the baccalaureate exams or the general average from the baccalaureate exam will be taken into account. For undergraduate study programs for which the admission test will be the UVT test of assessment of language skills and reasoning, the overall admission average will be calculated taking into account at least 50% of the mark on this test. 

Language and Rationale Assessment Test (EALR) has a number of advantages that make this type of assessment very widespread internationally. In its various variants, this form of verification is found in the admission process to many prestigious universities abroad.

The main advantages of the EALR test are the following:

- The test focuses on the way the candidate thinks (analyzes the information), so the test does not benefit ordinary people just to memorize a material without understanding it.

- Test it can be successfully sustained without any prior training. There are no contents and topics to learn or reference bibliographies, so the meditation industry does not make sense. Through this measure we offer equal chances of success to all candidates, regardless of their background (urban or rural) and their socio-economic status.

- Unlike other types of competition tests, in which the subjectivity of the evaluators or the uncertainty of the authenticity of the answers may make their mark, such as interviews or motivational essays, on this test the evaluation is an objective one (specific to grid type tests).

- Unlike other forms of written examination, based on the reproduction of knowledge, therefore liable to fraud, this form of assessment eliminates the potential for fraud, because it is based exclusively on the candidate's ability to think, demonstrated during the test.

- This type of evaluation is a good predictor of subsequent academic performance, because language skills and reasoning located at a higher level facilitate school success. Thus, candidates will have the certainty of a correct process of hierarchy, because the test manages to effectively classify candidates, highlighting those with high intellectual potential.
