Previous Master’s Admission Exams

In this section, we provide access to exams from previous admission processes of the Graduate Program in Ecology, Conservation, and Wildlife Management. This material can be used as a reference for applicants who wish to become familiar with the format and content of the assessments, including general exams, research line–specific exams, and base articles used in some editions.

In 2017, the admission process included a general exam and specific exams by research line.

The 2018 exam is available in its versions by research line. An excellent resource for practice.

The 2019 general and research line–specific exams are also available through the same links as the 2018 edition, as they followed a similar structure.
