A.8 hours per day and 46 hours per week
B.8 hours per day and 40 hours per week
C.7 hours per day and 42 hours per week
D.7.5 hours per day and 48 hours per week
Explanation: The reformed Article 61 keeps daily limits of eight hours for the daytime shift, seven for the night shift, and seven and a half for the mixed shift. Article 59 now sets a 40-hour weekly maximum, reached gradually under the second transitional article: 48 hours in 2026, 46 in 2027, 44 in 2028, 42 in 2029, and 40 in 2030.
2Following the 'Vacaciones Dignas' reform to Articles 76 and 78 of the Mexican LFT, how many continuous paid vacation days is an employee entitled to enjoy after completing their first full year of service?
A.12 working days
B.6 working days
C.14 working days
D.20 working days
Explanation: Article 76 of the Ley Federal del Trabajo, reformed in December 2022 and in force since 1 January 2023, grants at least 12 working days of paid vacation after the first year of service, rising by two days each year up to 20, and then by two days for every five years of service. Article 78 requires that at least 12 of those days be enjoyed continuously.
3In human resource management, what is the primary purpose of conducting a Training Needs Assessment (Detección de Necesidades de Capacitación - DNC)?
A.To find gaps between current skills and job requirements so that training targets real needs
B.To calculate each employee's payroll deductions and statutory social security contributions
C.To rank employees for promotion according to their seniority and attendance records
D.To define the salary band that corresponds to each position in the organizational structure
Explanation: A DNC systematically compares current employee skills, knowledge, and behaviors against the requirements of their job descriptions and strategic organizational goals, ensuring training resources target measurable performance deficiencies.
4Which performance appraisal method evaluates an employee by gathering structured feedback from supervisors, peers, direct subordinates, and internal/external customers?
A.360-degree feedback appraisal
B.Critical incident technique
C.Forced distribution ranking
D.Graphic rating scale
Explanation: A 360-degree appraisal provides a comprehensive, multi-rater assessment by collecting evaluations from an employee's full operational circle: managers, colleagues, subordinates, and clients, alongside a self-evaluation.
5Under the Mexican LFT, what mandatory minimum percentage of the daily salary must be paid as a vacation premium (prima vacacional) during annual leave?
A.25%
B.10%
C.50%
D.100%
Explanation: Article 80 of the Ley Federal del Trabajo stipulates that workers are entitled to an additional premium of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) over the wages corresponding to them during their vacation period.
6What is the primary difference between a job description (descripción de puesto) and a job specification (perfil o especificación de puesto)?
A.The description lists duties and reporting lines; the specification lists the education, skills, and competencies needed
B.The description lists the education and skills needed; the specification lists the duties and reporting lines
C.The description is used only in recruitment, while the specification is used only in performance appraisal
D.Both contain the same information, but the specification is the version published for external candidates
Explanation: Job analysis produces two outputs: the job description, which states what the job involves (tasks, duties, responsibilities, reporting relationships), and the job specification or profile, which states what the person needs (education, experience, skills, competencies). Both are used across recruitment, training, and appraisal.
7Under the Ley Federal del Trabajo, how is the workers' share of company profits (PTU) determined and distributed?
A.10% of taxable income (renta gravable), split half by days worked and half by wages earned
B.10% of the company's gross sales revenue, divided equally among all of its workers
C.10% of taxable income, distributed only among the unionized workers of the company
D.5% of the company's net accounting profit, divided according to each worker's seniority
Explanation: The percentage is set by the Comisión Nacional para la Participación de los Trabajadores en las Utilidades de las Empresas and is currently 10%. Article 120 defines the profit base as taxable income under the income tax law, and Article 123 divides the amount into two equal parts: one by days worked and one by wages earned. Directors, administrators, and general managers do not participate (Article 127, fraction I).
8Which recruitment technique assesses candidates through simulated operational scenarios, in-basket exercises, leaderless group discussions, and role-playing evaluated by multiple assessors?
A.Assessment Center (Centro de Evaluación)
B.Unstructured informal interview
C.Standard credit history background check

Explanation: An Assessment Center is a comprehensive selection method where candidates complete behavioral simulations, case presentations, and role-plays while trained observers score standardized behavioral competencies.

A.Before December 20 of each year
B.On January 6 of the following year
C.On the final day of November
D.On December 31 of each year
Explanation: Article 87 of the Ley Federal del Trabajo mandates that workers are entitled to an annual aguinaldo equivalent to at least 15 days of salary, which must be paid before December 20.
10Which point-factor job evaluation method rates positions on the three core factors of Know-How, Problem Solving, and Accountability?
A.The Hay Guide Chart-Profile Method
B.The Simple Job Ranking method
C.The Paired Comparison model
D.The Job Classification grading system
Explanation: The Hay Guide Chart-Profile Method (now Korn Ferry Hay) evaluates jobs using Know-How, Problem Solving, and Accountability, and some applications add working conditions. The resulting points support internal equity in the salary structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the EGEL Plus Administración (EGEL Plus ADMON)?

It is Ceneval's Examen General para el Egreso de la Licenciatura for business administration graduates. It measures the disciplinary knowledge and skills considered essential at the end of the degree, plus Spanish reading comprehension and indirect writing. Many Mexican universities use the results as a graduation requirement, a titulación option, or part of a course grade.

How many questions are on the exam and how long is it?

The Ceneval guide describes 203 items with three answer options: 143 disciplinary items and 60 transversal items, of which 15% are unscored pilot items. Current guides give 9 hours of response time in two 4.5-hour sessions on a single day, and both sessions must be completed.

What score is required to pass the EGEL Plus?

Results are reported on the Índice Ceneval scale from 700 to 1300: 700-999 is Aún no satisfactorio, 1000-1149 is Satisfactorio, and 1150-1300 is Sobresaliente. The global level uses a conjunctive model weighted toward the disciplinary section: a Satisfactorio global result requires at least Satisfactorio in the disciplinary section. Each institution decides how the result counts toward graduation.

Can I use a calculator?

Ceneval's exam guide permits a non-programmable scientific calculator, and its guide for in-person administrations lists a non-programmable financial calculator for this exam; calculators may not be lent between candidates.

Who can take the exam and how do I register?

It is intended for graduates who have completed 100% of their credits, whether or not they have the degree, and for final-semester students when their institution requests it. Institutions register candidates for paper and online sittings; individuals can register directly with Ceneval only for the Examen desde casa dates, which cost MXN 1,885 in 2026.

In what language is the official exam given, and why is this practice bank in English?

The official Ceneval exam is in Spanish. OpenExamPrep publishes this resource as an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or a simulation of the exam. Disciplinary questions and explanations are in English, while the language and communication items use Spanish sentences because they assess Spanish usage. Official items have three options; this bank uses four.
