The Colombian Institute for the Evaluation of Education - Icfes, opened the registration process for the Saber 11 calendar B, Pre Saber and Validation of the Academic Baccalaureate tests , which will be carried out on site on Sunday, April 7, 2024, under the pencil modality and paper.

“We have to see the evaluation from a positive point of view, it is not looking for where we are failing, it is looking for improvement actions. We are an Institute formed by the highest technical professional standards, which work every day to generate the best evaluation models. We seek a comprehensive evaluation, we seek to identify citizens who generate public value,” said the general director, Elizabeth Blandón Bermúdez, when calling on rectors and educational institutions to carry out the registration process of their students in time, so that it does not affect the transition of young people towards higher education.

The ordinary registration and collection process for the presentation of the three tests will be enabled until January 11, 2024. The extraordinary registration and collection will go until January 19. The publication of citations will take place on March 22 of next year. Icfes reminded educational institutions and individual students to complete the registration and payment process in a timely manner, before January 11, 2024, in order to avoid additional costs.

The Saber 11 test is aimed not only at students who are about to finish their eleventh grade in educational establishments or validation institutes, but also at those who wish to improve their score or who have not yet taken this exam.

In the specific case of the test for validators, people who are not enrolled in an educational institution and who want to obtain their bachelor's degree can register, as long as they have turned 18 years old by the date of the exam. This test can also be taken by foreign citizens who are in Colombian territory and who wish to obtain their bachelor's degree.

Likewise, the Icfes offered the Pre Saber exam to all those who want to become familiar with the structure and conditions of the application of Saber 11.

For greater ease and security, the collection of the three exams can be done online, through the PSE payment button. However, this can also be done in person at Davivienda bank branches and at banking correspondents authorized by this financial institution.

All queries related to registrations, appointments and results can be made through the icfes.gov.co portal , on the home page or in the exams tab. The publication date of the individual results of the Saber 11 Calendar B test will be Friday, June 14, 2024 and the results of Pre Saber and Validantes, on Friday, June 21, 2024.

For more information, those interested can contact the institute through the telephone line: (601) 5144370 in Bogotá.
