The PAA or Prueba de Aptitud Académica is an educational assessment that is used to help universities across Latin America select incoming students.
More specifically, it is a standardized test for university admissions.
The PAA is not a translation of the Scholastic Aptitude Test used in the United States and it is developed independently from the SAT, even though the PAA measures the same constructs as the SAT.
[1] While the CBPRAL is based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the PAA is delivered in a range of Spanish-speaking countries.
[3] The fourth generation of the PAA, launched in Puerto Rico in December 2017, assesses three components: Reading and Writing, Mathematics, and English as a Second Language.
