Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyse the influence of the pandemic on the grades obtained in different subjects that comprise the University entrance exam. With this purpose, we analysed a significant database containing grades related to four consecutive academic annual editions of the entrance exam to the University of La Laguna (Canary Islands, Spain) divided into two periods, pre-pandemic (academic years 2017-2018 and 2018-2019) and the post-pandemic (2019-2020 and 2020-2021). Bivariate data analysis along with multiple linear regression was performed on the data. According to the results, it is confirmed that in the post-pandemic period some grades have suffered a significant boost, and it is also possible to detect the social impact of that increase in social variables, i.e. gender significant differences.
