Sample Saber Pro Administración Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Saber Pro Administración exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 77+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Frederick W. Taylor’s scientific management primarily sought shop-floor efficiency through which combination of practices?

A.Fourteen universal principles applied first to the general manager’s office

B.Impersonal written rules and a career civil-service hierarchy

C.Time study, standardized methods, and scientifically selected workers paid by output

D.Informal work-group norms discovered in lighting experiments

Explanation: Scientific management analyzes tasks, standardizes the one best method, selects and trains workers scientifically, and ties pay to measured output. Those shop-floor tools are Taylor’s core, not Fayol’s office principles, Weber’s bureaucracy, or Mayo’s human-relations findings.

2Henri Fayol’s administrative theory is distinguished from Taylor’s scientific management mainly because Fayol focused on:

A.Motion study of individual machine operators

B.Ideal-type legal-rational authority in the state bureaucracy

C.Open-system exchanges of energy with the environment

D.Universal functions and principles for managing the enterprise as a whole

Explanation: Fayol wrote from the general manager’s viewpoint: planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling, plus principles such as unity of command. Taylor started from the workshop; Weber from legal-rational authority; open systems from later systems theory.

3In Weber’s ideal-type bureaucracy, authority is legitimate primarily because it is:

A.Charismatic personal loyalty to a founder

B.Traditional inheritance of office by family lineage

C.Legal-rational: impersonally attached to offices, rules, and competence

D.Informal influence earned in the work group

Explanation: Weber’s bureaucracy rests on legal-rational authority: written rules, hierarchical offices, impersonality, and competence-based careers. Charismatic and traditional authority are his other types, not the bureaucratic ideal. Informal group influence is a human-relations theme.

4A maintenance technician receives conflicting instructions about the same machine repair from the production manager and the safety manager. Which redesign best applies Fayol’s unity of command while preserving cross-functional input?

A.Keep both managers’ orders equally binding and ask the technician to reconcile conflicts during the repair

B.Route every maintenance decision to the board so all functions participate in the final instruction

C.Assign one manager to approve technical work and another to approve the same work whenever safety is involved

D.Designate one accountable superior to issue the repair instruction after coordinating production and safety input

Explanation: Unity of command gives an employee one accountable superior for a given duty so operational instructions do not conflict. Other functions can contribute expertise, but two managers should not issue competing commands about the same repair.

5A plant manager cuts each job into elemental motions, clocks them, and sets a piece rate for the “one best way.” Which theoretical lens best describes that practice?

A.Weberian bureaucracy

B.Human relations

C.Scientific management

D.Open-systems theory

Explanation: Elemental motion/time study and a piece rate for a standardized method are scientific-management tools. Bureaucracy emphasizes offices and rules; human relations emphasizes social groups; open systems emphasize organization–environment exchange.

6Douglas McGregor’s Theory X assumes workers typically:

A.Seek responsibility and can exercise self-direction toward objectives they accept

B.Are motivated only by hygiene factors such as company policy

C.Adapt structure automatically to Woodward’s technological types

D.Dislike work, avoid responsibility, and must be coerced or tightly controlled

Explanation: Theory X is the pessimistic assumption: people dislike work and need coercion or close control. Theory Y is the contrasting assumption of self-direction. Hygiene-only motivation is a misreading of Herzberg, and Woodward is contingency theory about technology and structure.

7A sales analyst prefers moderately challenging targets, asks for personal responsibility over a territory, and requests rapid feedback on results. McClelland’s theory suggests the analyst has a strong need for:

A.Affiliation, because maintaining warm relationships is the primary goal

B.Power, because controlling other people is the primary goal

C.Achievement, because the person seeks attainable challenge, responsibility, and performance feedback

D.Hygiene, because working conditions are the only source of motivation

Explanation: McClelland associates a high need for achievement with personal responsibility, moderately challenging goals, and concrete feedback. Affiliation emphasizes acceptance and relationships, while power emphasizes influence over others.

8A regional delivery company revises its plans after national inflation accelerates and a central-bank interest-rate increase raises borrowing costs. These conditions belong primarily to the:

A.Immediate operating environment of customers and competitors

B.Economic macroenvironment

C.Internal technological subsystem

D.Informal organization and its social norms

Explanation: Inflation and economy-wide interest rates are economic conditions in the organization’s macroenvironment. They influence the firm from outside but are not individual customers or competitors, internal technology, or informal workplace norms.

9Katz and Kahn’s open-systems view of organizations emphasizes that the firm:

A.Can ignore the environment if internal rules are complete

B.Should maximize only closed-system technical efficiency with no feedback

C.Must always adopt a machine-bureaucracy form

D.Imports energy/inputs, transforms them, and exports outputs while remaining dependent on external exchange

Explanation: Open-systems theory treats the organization as dependent on environmental exchange: inputs, transformation, outputs, and feedback. A closed, rule-complete machine that never exchanges with the environment contradicts that view.

10Contingency theory’s central claim for structure is that:

A.There is one universally best structure for every firm

B.Informal groups always outperform formal design

C.Only Weber’s bureaucracy is scientifically valid

D.The appropriate structure depends on conditions such as environment and technology

Explanation: Contingency (situational) theory rejects one best way: structure should fit context — for example Burns and Stalker’s environment or Woodward’s technology. Universal bureaucracy or universal informal groups contradict that claim.

About the Saber Pro Administración Exam

The ICFES Módulo Gestión de Organizaciones is the Saber Pro specific-competency module offered to SNIES NBC Administración. It is part of the Examen de Estado de la Calidad de la Educación Superior under Ley 1324 de 2009, not a professional-licensure exam. ICFES's 2026-2 combinatoria table assigns it in combinatoria 22 with Formulación, Evaluación y Gestión de Proyectos and Gestión Financiera. It is offered to students who have passed at least 75% of their professional-program credits, are taking Saber Pro for the first time, and are registered directly by their IES. The official 2026-2 guide specifies 50 single-answer multiple-choice items weighted 30% theories, 30% organization as object of study, and 40% administrative process (planeación, organización, dirección, control). Scoring uses four niveles de desempeño mapped to 0–300. ICFES issues the current guide and items in Spanish. This free bank is an English-language four-option MCQ study adaptation of the module's afirmaciones and evidencias — not an official ICFES translation, not a format simulation of the Spanish booklet, and not a substitute for the other combinatoria-22 modules.

Assessment

Saber Pro session 1 (all candidates): five generic modules in 4 hours 40 minutes. When an IES selects NBC Administración combinatoria 22, session 2 assigns Formulación, Evaluación y Gestión de Proyectos, Gestión de Organizaciones, and Gestión Financiera in 4 hours 30 minutes. Combinatoria 46 omits this module. Combinatoria 0 is generics only. A sitting with only one specific module is timed at 1 hour 30 minutes for session 2.

Time Limit

Session 2: 1 hour 30 minutes if this is the only specific module; 4 hours 30 minutes when two or three specific modules are assigned (combinatoria 22). Plus 4 hours 40 minutes for the generic session.

Passing Score

No pass/fail. Module scored 0–300 with four niveles de desempeño (1: 0–124 through 4: 201–300). This score is not averaged into the Puntaje Global, which uses only the five generic modules.

Exam Fee

No separate module fee is published. Eligible first-time students registered by an IES pay the applicable 2026 ordinary Saber Pro fee: public IES COP 126,000; private IES COP 126,000–224,000 by tuition band (Resolución 000629 of 11 November 2025).

Saber Pro Administración Study Tips from Top Performers

1Treat the 2026-2 weights as the study split: about 30% theories, 30% organization as object of study, and 40% the four-function administrative process.

2ICFES wants theories used to interpret a situation, not name-dropping. Ask which theory best explains the facts given.

3Keep mission, vision, strategy, policy, and action plan distinct — the official evidencias score those mix-ups as planning errors.

4For design items, match structure to environment: mechanistic/functional for stable work, organic/adhocratic for rapid change.

5These MCQs are an English study aid. Practise also with ICFES's Spanish cuadernillo so the official language and stem style are not a surprise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ICFES Saber Pro Gestión de Organizaciones?

It is the specific-competency module of Colombia's Saber Pro Examen de Estado for professional programs in the SNIES NBC Administración. Eligible first-time candidates registered by their IES sit 50 Spanish single-answer multiple-choice items on managing organizations.

Is this the same as the generic Saber Pro bank?

No. The generic Saber Pro sitting (Lectura Crítica, Razonamiento Cuantitativo, Competencias Ciudadanas, Comunicación Escrita, and Inglés) is a separate session and makes the Puntaje Global. This module is the Administración-specific sitting and is scored separately 0–300.

How many questions and how long is the official module?

The 2026-2 orientation guide states 50 selección múltiple con única respuesta items. ICFES times one specific module at 1 hour 30 minutes; combinatoria 22's three specific modules share a 4-hour-30-minute second session.

How is the module scored?

There is no pass/fail cut. The module is classified into one of four niveles de desempeño mapped to 0–300: 1 (0–124), 2 (125–156), 3 (157–200), and 4 (201–300).

The 2026-2 oferta de combinatorias lists combinatoria 22 for Economía, administración, contaduría y afines / Administración as the generic modules plus Formulación, Evaluación y Gestión de Proyectos, Gestión de Organizaciones, and Gestión Financiera. This bank covers only Gestión de Organizaciones.
