1Simplify the arithmetic expression: (2/3 + 3/4) / (5/6 - 1/2).
A.17/4 (4.25)
B.17/12
C.5/6
D.7/2
Explanation: Evaluate numerator: 2/3 + 3/4 = 8/12 + 9/12 = 17/12. Evaluate denominator: 5/6 - 1/2 = 5/6 - 3/6 = 2/6 = 1/3 = 4/12. Divide numerator by denominator: (17/12) / (1/3) = (17/12) * (3/1) = 17/4 = 4.25.
2What is the scientific notation representation of the number 0.0000458?
A.4.58 x 10^-5
B.4.58 x 10^-4
C.45.8 x 10^-6
D.4.58 x 10^5
Explanation: To place the decimal point after the first non-zero digit (4), move the decimal point 5 places to the right: 4.58 x 10^-5.
3Simplify the radical expression: sqrt(50) + sqrt(18) - sqrt(8).
A.6*sqrt(2)
B.4*sqrt(2)
C.8*sqrt(2)
D.sqrt(60)
Explanation: Simplify each radical: sqrt(50) = 5*sqrt(2), sqrt(18) = 3*sqrt(2), and sqrt(8) = 2*sqrt(2). Combining like radicals gives (5 + 3 - 2)*sqrt(2) = 6*sqrt(2).
4A cattle rancher in Beni sells 40 head of cattle, which represents 25% of his total herd. How many cattle were in the total herd?
A.160 cattle
B.100 cattle
C.120 cattle
D.200 cattle
Explanation: Let H be the total herd. 0.25 * H = 40 => H = 40 / 0.25 = 40 * 4 = 160 cattle.
5Evaluate: (-2)^4 - 3^2 + sqrt[3](-64).
A.3
B.11
C.-1
D.7
Explanation: Evaluate each term: (-2)^4 = +16; 3^2 = 9; and the cube root of -64 is -4 (since (-4)^3 = -64). Then: 16 - 9 + (-4) = 7 - 4 = 3.
6Factor completely the polynomial expression 3x^2 - 12x.
A.3x(x - 4)
B.3(x^2 - 4x)
C.x(3x - 12)
D.(3x - 4)(x + 3)
Explanation: The greatest common factor (GCF) of 3x^2 and -12x is 3x. Factoring 3x out leaves 3x(x - 4).
7What is the complete factorization of the trinomial x^2 - 5x - 24?
A.(x - 8)(x + 3)
B.(x + 8)(x - 3)
C.(x - 6)(x + 4)
D.(x - 12)(x + 2)
Explanation: We search for two numbers that multiply to -24 and add up to -5. These numbers are -8 and +3. Thus, x^2 - 5x - 24 = (x - 8)(x + 3).
8Solve the linear equation for x: 5(2x - 3) - 2(x + 4) = 3(x + 1) + 4.
A.x = 6
B.x = 4
C.x = 5
D.x = 7
Explanation: Expand both sides: 10x - 15 - 2x - 8 = 3x + 3 + 4. Combine like terms: 8x - 23 = 3x + 7. Subtract 3x and add 23: 5x = 30 => x = 6.
9What are the solutions to the quadratic equation 3x^2 - 10x + 3 = 0?
A.x = 3 and x = 1/3
B.x = -3 and x = -1/3
C.x = 1 and x = 3
D.x = 2 and x = 3/2
Explanation: Factor 3x^2 - 10x + 3 = 0 as (3x - 1)(x - 3) = 0. Setting each factor to zero yields 3x - 1 = 0 => x = 1/3, and x - 3 = 0 => x = 3.
10Simplify the rational expression: (x^2 - 9) / (2x^2 + 6x).
A.(x - 3) / (2x)
B.(x + 3) / (2x)
C.(x - 3) / 2
D.(x - 9) / 6
Explanation: Factor numerator as a difference of squares: (x - 3)(x + 3). Factor denominator by GCF: 2x(x + 3). Canceling the common factor (x + 3) gives (x - 3) / (2x).

About the UABJB PSA Exam

The Prueba de Suficiencia Académica (PSA) of the Universidad Autónoma del Beni "José Ballivián" (UABJB) is a direct-admission route for undergraduate careers in Trinidad and provincial branches across the Beni Department. Official content is selected by faculty and career. This independent English-language MCQ study adaptation samples four recurring clusters from the official 2026 bank; it is not an official translation, a format simulation, a universal UABJB blueprint, or preparation for the separate diagnostic psychotechnical assessment.

Assessment

Career-aligned secondary-school knowledge assessment. Official subjects differ by faculty and career; the admission regulation scores each assigned subject out of 100 and requires a weighted average of at least 51, subject to capacity. A separate prior diagnostic psychotechnical assessment is mandatory for licenciatura applicants.

Time Limit

Set by the applicable call; not published in the reviewed 2026 materials

Passing Score

Minimum 51/100, subject to carrera quota availability

Exam Fee

Frequently Asked Questions

What subjects are included in the UABJB PSA assessment?

There is no single four-subject UABJB blueprint. The official 2026 bank is organized by faculty and career, and its subjects vary. This practice bank samples recurring Mathematics, Language, Biology, and Realidad Nacional material.

What is the minimum passing score required for admission?

Applicants must achieve a minimum passing grade of 51 out of 100 points, with final admission determined by available vacancies per carrera.

Where is the UABJB PSA administered?

Evaluations are held in Trinidad (central campus) and across regional university branches in Riberalta, Guayaramerín, San Borja, Rurrenabaque, San Ignacio de Moxos, Reyes, Santa Ana del Yacuma, and Magdalena.

Is there a mandatory component in addition to the PSA knowledge assessment?

Yes for licenciatura applicants: the UABJB admission regulation requires a diagnostic psychotechnical assessment before the PSA. It is a separate diagnostic and is not represented by this knowledge-question bank.
