Lucia Garcia Gil, a resident of Cubells and student at the public institute Els Planells in Artesa de Segre, Noguera, has achieved the best score in this year's University Entrance Exams (PAU) in the Lleida region, with a 9.6 out of 10. The young woman received the news with surprise and attributes her success to "continuous effort" throughout her baccalaureate studies.
Garcia Gil has already decided to pursue a degree in English Studies at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). The teaching staff at Els Planells institute, where the student dedicated many hours to revision in the Literature department's classroom, have congratulated her enthusiastically.
The student herself acknowledged that the news had surprised her, despite having taken the exams with confidence. She stated she had never imagined she would achieve the top position in the region. The teaching staff at the institution have expressed their congratulations.
Regarding her study method, the student emphasized that a good PAU score is not achieved solely through last-minute effort but is the result of sustained work throughout all academic years. During the weeks leading up to the exams, she combined a personal weekly schedule with revision sessions organized by the teachers at the center, reserving afternoons for individual study. The final week was intensive, with almost exclusive dedication to revision.
Among the exam anecdotes, Garcia Gil highlighted the positive surprise of the Philosophy exam, a subject that had caused her insecurity during the course due to its "subjectivity," where she scored a 10. The Spanish Language test also surprised her, as the questions were formatted quite differently compared to previous calls, although this did not affect the final result.
