Hola, Natalia, aquí Jesús Aguado, del Ítaca. ¿Se sabe algo de esas pruebas este año? No se han convocado, la EOI ha suspendido todas las pruebas hasta septiembre. Los alumnos de cuarto nos están preguntando y no sé muy bien qué decirles. Un saludo.

Hola, Jesús. La resolución imagino que saldrá publicada hoy, o como muy tarde mañana. El plazo de preinscripción para los alumnos comienza el 4 de junio hasta el 11. Allí les indican todo lo que deben hacer para preinscribirse, pero imagino que también llegará información a los centros.
Saludos,
Natalia
