Sample UASD Prueba Diagnóstica Practice Questions

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

1What is the value of the numerical expression (3/4 - 1/3) ÷ (5/6 + 1/2)?
A.5/16
B.5/8
C.1/4
D.3/8
Explanation: To solve (3/4 - 1/3) ÷ (5/6 + 1/2), first compute the numerator: 3/4 - 1/3 = 9/12 - 4/12 = 5/12. Next, compute the denominator: 5/6 + 1/2 = 5/6 + 3/6 = 8/6 = 4/3. Finally, divide the two fractions: (5/12) ÷ (4/3) = (5/12) × (3/4) = 15/48 = 5/16.
2Which of the following is the simplified form of the radical expression √72 - 3√8 + √50?
A.7√2
B.5√2
C.3√2
D.11√2
Explanation: Simplify each radical into prime radical factors: √72 = √(36 × 2) = 6√2; 3√8 = 3√(4 × 2) = 3(2√2) = 6√2; and √50 = √(25 × 2) = 5√2. Combining like terms yields 6√2 - 6√2 + 5√2 = 5√2.
3A university bookstore increases the price of an engineering textbook by 20%. During a campus book fair, the new price is discounted by 15%. What is the net percentage change from the original price?
A.A net increase of 5%
B.No net change (0%)
C.A net increase of 2%
D.A net decrease of 2%
Explanation: Let the original price be P = 100. After a 20% increase, the price becomes 100 × 1.20 = 120. A 15% discount on 120 gives 120 × (1 - 0.15) = 120 × 0.85 = 102. Comparing 102 to 100 shows a net increase of 2%.
4What is the evaluated result of the expression (4 × 10^-3) × (6 × 10^7) ÷ (8 × 10^2)?
A.300
B.3,000
C.30
D.0.3
Explanation: Multiply the coefficients and apply the product rule of exponents in the numerator: (4 × 6) × 10^(-3 + 7) = 24 × 10^4. Now divide by the denominator: (24 ÷ 8) × 10^(4 - 2) = 3 × 10^2 = 300.
5In an arithmetic progression, the first term is a_1 = 7 and the common difference is d = 4. What is the sum of the first 15 terms (S_15) of this progression?
A.495
B.525
C.555
D.570
Explanation: The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic progression is given by S_n = (n/2) × [2a_1 + (n - 1)d]. Substituting n = 15, a_1 = 7, and d = 4: S_15 = (15/2) × [2(7) + (14)(4)] = 7.5 × [14 + 56] = 7.5 × 70 = 525.
6Expand and simplify the polynomial expression: (2x - 3)(3x + 4) - 2(x^2 - 5).
A.4x^2 + x - 22
B.4x^2 - x - 22
C.6x^2 - x - 2
D.4x^2 - x - 2
Explanation: Expand the first binomial product: (2x)(3x) + (2x)(4) - (3)(3x) - (3)(4) = 6x^2 + 8x - 9x - 12 = 6x^2 - x - 12. Next, expand the second term: -2(x^2 - 5) = -2x^2 + 10. Combining like terms: (6x^2 - 2x^2) - x + (-12 + 10) = 4x^2 - x - 2.
7Which of the following is the complete factorization of the quadratic trinomial 2x^2 - 7x + 3?
A.(2x - 1)(x - 3)
B.(2x - 3)(x - 1)
C.(2x + 1)(x - 3)
D.(2x + 3)(x + 1)
Explanation: To factor 2x^2 - 7x + 3, find two numbers that multiply to a × c = 2 × 3 = 6 and add to b = -7. These numbers are -6 and -1. Rewrite the middle term: 2x^2 - 6x - x + 3 = 2x(x - 3) - 1(x - 3) = (2x - 1)(x - 3).
8Simplify the rational expression (x^2 - 9) ÷ (2x^2 + 6x) for all values where the expression is defined (x ≠ -3, 0).
A.(x + 3) / (2x)
B.(x - 3) / 2
C.(x - 3) / (2x)
D.-3 / (2x)
Explanation: Factor both numerator and denominator completely: the numerator is a difference of squares x^2 - 9 = (x - 3)(x + 3), and the denominator has a common monomial factor 2x^2 + 6x = 2x(x + 3). Canceling the common factor (x + 3) yields (x - 3) / (2x).
9Which of the following represents the correct factorization of the difference of cubes 8x^3 - 27?
A.(2x - 3)(4x^2 - 6x + 9)
B.(2x - 3)(4x^2 + 6x + 9)
C.(2x + 3)(4x^2 - 6x + 9)
D.(2x - 3)^3
Explanation: Using the difference of cubes formula a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2), identify a = 2x and b = 3. Substituting these into the formula yields (2x - 3)[(2x)^2 + (2x)(3) + (3)^2] = (2x - 3)(4x^2 + 6x + 9).
10What is the solution set for the linear inequality 3(2x - 4) ≤ 5x - 2?
A.x ≤ 10
B.x ≥ 10
C.x ≤ -14
D.x ≤ 14
Explanation: Distribute the 3 on the left side: 6x - 12 ≤ 5x - 2. Subtract 5x from both sides: x - 12 ≤ -2. Add 12 to both sides: x ≤ 10. In interval notation, this represents (-∞, 10].

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the UASD Prueba Diagnóstica de Conocimientos Generales?

It is the university entrance diagnostic examination administered by the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (UASD) through its Dirección de Admisiones. It evaluates secondary-school foundational knowledge across six core subject areas to determine student preparedness and guide leveling course placement in the Ciclo Básico.

How many questions are on the UASD diagnostic exam and how much time is given?

According to UASD's official Admissions Procedure Manual, the examination consists of 100 questions to be answered in 90 minutes on a paper answer sheet. The questions are divided into Matemática (20), Letras (20), Biología (15), Química (15), Física (15), and Historia (15).

Are calculators or electronic devices allowed during the exam?

No. The UASD examination manual strictly prohibits calculators, smartphones, and any electronic devices during the testing session. All quantitative and scientific calculations in mathematics, chemistry, and physics must be worked out by hand.

Is there a minimum score required to pass or be admitted?

UASD's public admissions page and procedure manual do not publish a universal pass or admission cutoff for this diagnostic examination. Applicants should follow the result and placement instructions issued for their own admission cycle.

How does the Prueba Diagnóstica differ from the POMA exam?

The Prueba de Orientación y Medición Académica (POMA) is a national diagnostic assessment required across Dominican universities measuring academic aptitude and cognitive skills. UASD's Prueba Diagnóstica de Conocimientos Generales is UASD's own internal subject-matter knowledge exam testing specific high school curriculum content.

Why is this practice bank written in English if the UASD exam is in Spanish?

The official UASD manual and subject labels are in Spanish. This 100-question practice test is an English-language, all-MCQ study adaptation for reviewing the underlying secondary-school concepts; it is not an official translation or format simulation and cannot replace practice with the official test's open items.
