In the summer of 2026, approximately 160,000 applicants participated in the entrance exam for the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the country's largest university. This exam was conducted entirely online for the first time, utilizing a lockdown browser and AI-powered webcam proctoring software over several weeks from late May to early June. Following the exam, results indicated a significant increase in high scores compared to previous years. Between 2021 and 2025, only 3.5 percent of test takers scored 100 or more on the 120-question UNAM test, while this year, 16.3 percent achieved that score. As a result of the discrepancies in the results, 58,000 students will be required to retake the exam.
