Which San Marcos schools would your exam score have reached?
We compare your score on San Marcos's general admission exam with the lowest score admitted to each of the 111 schools and site offers in the 2026-II process — 91 sorted by how far you are from that score, and 20 listed separately (no more applicants than places, or a score mixed with an aptitude test).

This matcher covers one university, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM), and one admission route: its general entrance exam for school leavers from regular and alternative basic education (EBR/EBA). It does not cover San Marcos's pre-university centre, its extraordinary routes (top school leavers, transfers, graduates, athletes, disability, native communities and others), or any other Peruvian university — none publishes comparable open data.
We compare your score with the lowest score of the candidates admitted to each school in San Marcos's 2026-II general exam. That is what it took in one process, not a cut-off set in advance: the next process has different applicants and places. “Around” means within 125 points either way, “well above” 125 or more above, “below” more than 125 below — never a guarantee.
Scores are on San Marcos's own exam scale. Under the university's admission regulation for 2023-I (articles 31 and 38) — the latest we could read; the 2026-I regulation was not available — the general exam has 100 questions, a right answer scores 20 and a wrong one −1.125, so the ceiling is 2,000. UNMSM's data dictionary describes the two figures only as the highest and lowest score obtained; where a single candidate was admitted the two are almost always the same number, so we read them as the scores of candidates who won a place — the file does not say so itself. A lowest score is what it took in that one process, not a promise for the next. A practice score from a mock exam is not the same thing; your answers stay in this browser.
How we set the 125-point band: across the 34 schools whose 2026-I row we could verify and that had more applicants than places in both processes, the lowest admitted score moved between 2026-I and 2026-II by a median of 75.375 points, 123.375 at the third quartile and 141.125 at the ninth decile (it rose at 12 schools and fell at 22). ±125 is that third quartile rounded up — our choice, from two consecutive semesters only.
