Sample ICFES Saber 7° Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your ICFES Saber 7° exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Read this school news note: «El martes, el grado séptimo de la Institución Educativa La Esperanza cosechó tomates en la huerta. La profesora Camila pesó 18 kilogramos y los llevó al restaurante escolar.» Who harvested the tomatoes?
A.Grade 7 of Institución Educativa La Esperanza
B.Only the restaurant cooks
C.The municipal mayor
D.A visiting soccer team
Explanation: The first sentence names grade 7 of IE La Esperanza as the group that harvested. ICFES Saber 7° Lectura still asks students to recover explicit actors (literal process) before they interpret or evaluate. Locating who did the action is the target skill.
2Read: «—No quiero mudarme —dijo Valentina—. Aquí están mis amigos. Su hermano Mateo respondió: —En Villavicencio también habrá un colegio.» Who does not want to move?
A.Valentina
B.Mateo
C.The unnamed narrator only
D.A teacher who never speaks
Explanation: Valentina’s quoted line states she does not want to move because her friends are here. Grade-7 Lectura includes dialogal sequences; recovering which voice owns a statement is literal retrieval of characters.
3A library poster table reads: «Lunes a viernes: 7:00 a. m.–4:00 p. m. Sábado: 8:00 a. m.–12:00 m. Domingo: cerrado.» When is the library closed?
A.Monday morning
B.Saturday at 9:00 a. m.
C.Sunday
D.Friday at 8:00 a. m.
Explanation: The table states Domingo: cerrado. Discontinuous texts (posters, tables) are part of Saber 7° Lectura; the task is to recover an explicit schedule fact.
4News note: «El río Cauca presentó una crecida después de tres días de lluvia. Las lanchas no salieron del puerto de Caucasia.» In this text, crecida most nearly means:
A.A sudden drop in the water level
B.A festival on the riverbank
C.A rise in the river’s water
D.A new bridge design
Explanation: Context (three days of rain, boats staying in port) supports crecida as a rise in river water. Literal Lectura includes understanding vocabulary from surrounding clues without needing a dictionary definition invented by the item.
5Read this short legend opening: «En las noches de luna, el Mohán se sentaba en una piedra del Magdalena y tocaba su guitarra. Los pescadores de Honda evitaban esa orilla.» Where does the Mohán sit?
A.On a stone in the Magdalena
B.In a classroom in Honda
C.On a TransMilenio bus
D.In a Bogotá museum
Explanation: The sentence locates him on a stone of the Magdalena. Recovering place from a narrative sequence is a literal evidence in the ICFES lenguaje marco for grade 7.
6An infographic bar chart is described as: «Kilos reciclados en marzo: papel 40, plástico 25, vidrio 10, metal 5.» Which material had the highest mass recycled?
A.Glass (vidrio)
B.Plastic (plástico)
C.Paper (papel)
D.Metal
Explanation: Paper is listed at 40 kilograms, the largest value. Saber 7° Lectura includes discontinuous explanatory graphics; comparing labeled quantities is literal recovery of content.
7Read: «Desde abril, tres rutas de TransMilenio salen más temprano. La Alcaldía dice que así los estudiantes de Bosa llegan al colegio antes de las 6:30 a. m. Algunos padres piden más buses, no solo un cambio de horario.» What is the main idea of the note?
A.TransMilenio will be replaced by cable cars next week
B.Bosa schools cancelled classes in April
C.All parents in Bogotá already agree the problem is solved
D.A schedule change aims to help Bosa students arrive earlier, while some parents want extra buses
Explanation: The note reports an earlier departure on three routes for students in Bosa and a remaining parent demand for more buses. Global comprehension is identifying what the whole text is about, not a side detail or an idea never stated.
8Story: «Julián guardó las fotos de Manizales. En Pereira, el patio era más pequeño, pero su abuela plantó el mismo romero. Al cabo de un mes, el olor le pareció otra vez casa.» What is the global theme?
A.A recipe for romero tea
B.A sports championship between two cities
C.How a familiar plant and smell help a boy feel at home after moving
D.Instructions to pack a suitcase
Explanation: Across the three sentences, the move, the smaller patio, and the shared rosemary smell build a theme of belonging after relocation. Inferring an implicit global meaning is the second Lectura process (sentido local y global).
9Read: «Sara quería ensayar teatro en el aula múltiple a las 3:00 p. m. El grupo de danza ya había reservado ese espacio. El coordinador mostró el libro de reservas y pidió que acordaran otro horario.» What caused the conflict?
A.Two groups needed the same room at the same time
B.The coordinator cancelled all after-school clubs
C.Sara refused to join theater
D.The dance group had no teacher
Explanation: Theater and dance both claim the aula múltiple at 3:00 p. m.; the reservation book makes the overlap explicit. Relating parts of a short narrative (desire, prior booking, adult mediation) is a grade-7 inferential task.
10A school infographic titled «Cómo lavarse las manos» shows five numbered drawings and almost no paragraph text. What is its communicative purpose?
A.To tell a fictional story about a river spirit
B.To narrate a student’s weekend trip
C.To argue that the cafeteria prices are unfair
D.To teach a procedure with a clear sequence of steps
Explanation: Numbered drawings under a how-to title signal an explanatory, procedural purpose. Inferring intención comunicativa of a discontinuous text is listed among Lectura evidences for Saber 7°.

ICFES Saber 7° Study Tips from Top Performers

1Use grade-7 DBA, not grade-5 or grade-9 exclusively: ICFES science specifications for grade 7 are published separately in the ciencias marco.
2Practise proportional reasoning, percentages, and integer operations with COP contexts; include genuine calculations.
3In Lectura, move beyond literal recall toward relating paragraphs and judging whether a conclusion follows.
4For Ciencias, connect cellular organization, physical properties of matter, and environmental cycles rather than isolated facts.
5Practise planning a short argumentative or explanatory Spanish text; the official Escritura task is writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ICFES Saber 7° test?

It is the seventh-grade component of Colombia's Pruebas Saber 3°, 5°, 7° y 9°, administered by ICFES through schools. ICFES published a 2025 Guía de Orientación Saber 7°.

Which subjects does Saber 7° include?

The same areas ICFES lists for grades 5, 7 and 9: Lectura, Matemáticas, Ciencias Naturales y Educación Ambiental, Competencias Ciudadanas, and Escritura, plus auxiliary questionnaires.

Is Saber 7° still only a sample test?

Earlier cycles described grade 7 as a sample/pilot within the 3-5-7-9 strategy. ICFES's current program page includes grade 7 with the 2025 orientation guides for grades 5, 7 and 9. Use the current ICFES page and 2025 guide for the cycle you are sitting.

Is there a passing score?

No. ICFES reports performance levels for students and schools. Saber 7° is not a high-school diploma or university-admission exam.
