Sample EGEL Plus Diseño Gráfico Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the EGEL Plus Diseño Gráfico exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 86+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which set of primary colors defines the additive color model used in self-luminous electronic displays, and what is produced when they are mixed at full intensity?
A.Red, green, and blue, producing white light
B.Cyan, magenta, and yellow, producing neutral gray
C.Red, yellow, and blue, producing deep black
D.Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, producing pure white
Explanation: The additive color system is based on light emitted directly from electronic screens and monitors. The primary colors of this system are red, green, and blue (RGB). When all three colors of light are combined at 100% intensity, they produce white light.
2Which Spanish sentence uses the expression recommended by the RAE's Diccionario panhispánico de dudas?
A.El diseño se ajustó en base a los resultados de las pruebas con usuarios.
B.El diseño se ajustó con base en los resultados de las pruebas con usuarios.
C.El diseño se ajustó en base de los resultados de las pruebas con usuarios.
D.El diseño se ajustó con base a los resultados de las pruebas con usuarios.
Explanation: The Diccionario panhispánico de dudas considers 'en base a' not recommendable and proposes alternatives such as 'con base en' (widely used in Mexico), 'sobre la base de', 'basándose en' or 'según'.
3According to Charles Sanders Peirce's triadic theory of semiotics, how is an indexical sign (index) fundamentally defined in relation to its referent?
A.Through arbitrary social convention and learned cultural agreement
B.Through a direct physical resemblance or formal mimicry of the object
C.Through an existential, physical, or causal connection to the object
D.Through an abstract, non-referential sensory stimulus devoid of meaning
Explanation: In Peircean semiotics, an index (índice) maintains a direct physical, existential, or cause-and-effect relationship with the object it represents. Classic examples include smoke signifying fire, a footprint signifying a person's presence, or a thermometer indicating temperature.
4Which Gestalt principle is demonstrated when the human visual system perceives an open, incomplete outline as a closed, finished geometric shape?
A.Closure
B.Continuity
C.Proximity
D.Common Fate
Explanation: The Gestalt law of closure (ley de cierre) posits that the human mind naturally fills in missing gaps in an incomplete visual contour or arrangement to perceive a recognized, complete whole. This cognitive tendency is frequently leveraged in minimalist logo design and iconographic marks.
5Which color scheme combines two hues that lie directly opposite each other on the standard 12-hue color wheel, maximizing visual chromatic contrast?
A.Analogous color scheme
B.Triadic color scheme
C.Complementary color scheme
D.Monochromatic color scheme
Explanation: A complementary color scheme pairs two hues located 180 degrees apart across the color wheel (such as orange and blue, or red and green). When placed side by side, complementary colors intensify each other through maximum chromatic contrast, creating dynamic focal points.
6Which Spanish sentence writes the measurement symbols according to RAE spelling rules?
A.El cartel mide 60 cms de ancho y tendrá un 20 % de descuento.
B.El cartel mide 60 cm. de ancho y tendrá un 20 % de descuento.
C.El cartel mide 60cm de ancho y tendrá un 20 % de descuento.
D.El cartel mide 60 cm de ancho y tendrá un 20 % de descuento.
Explanation: The Ortografía de la lengua española treats symbols such as cm, kg and % as invariable signs: they take no plural, no period (except when a sentence ends there) and are separated from the number by a space: '60 cm', '20 %'.
7According to Michel Eugène Chevreul's law of simultaneous contrast, how does a neutral gray patch visually appear when placed entirely inside a field of saturated green?
A.The neutral gray takes on a subtle reddish or warm magenta tint
B.The neutral gray appears noticeably darker with a subtle greenish cast
C.The neutral gray loses all perceived value and appears pure white
D.The neutral gray increases in luminosity and shifts toward bright cyan
Explanation: Simultaneous contrast states that when two colors are placed side by side, each induces its complementary hue onto the other. Surrounding a neutral gray patch with saturated green causes the human visual system to project green's complementary hue (magenta/red) onto the neutral area, making the gray appear slightly warm or reddish.
8Which option correctly completes the Spanish sentence: 'El cliente ___ aprobado la propuesta y la enviará ___ la imprenta.'?
A.a / ha
B.ha / a
C.ha / ha
D.a / a
Explanation: 'Ha' is a form of the auxiliary verb haber ('ha aprobado', present perfect). 'A' is the preposition that indicates destination ('la enviará a la imprenta').
9Which visual design mechanism is primarily responsible for establishing an intuitive reading sequence and clarifying relative importance across a layout?
A.Visual hierarchy
B.Color saturation balance
C.Typographic tracking
D.Asymmetric cropping
Explanation: Visual hierarchy organizes design components in order of communicative importance. By deliberately manipulating scale, weight, contrast, color, and spatial positioning, the designer directs the viewer's gaze from primary focal points to supporting contextual details.
10What is the key technical distinction between kerning and tracking in typography?
A.Kerning adjusts the space between a specific pair of glyphs, whereas tracking applies uniform spacing across a range of glyphs
B.Kerning modifies vertical space between lines, whereas tracking modifies horizontal space between words
C.Kerning scales the horizontal width of letter stems, whereas tracking modifies font stroke weight
D.Kerning is applied exclusively to body text, whereas tracking is reserved exclusively for display titles
Explanation: Kerning (interletraje o acoplamiento) specifically adjusts the proportional whitespace between two adjacent characters (such as 'AV', 'To', or 'WA') to eliminate awkward gaps. Tracking (espaciado o tracking general) adjusts letter spacing uniformly across an entire sequence, line, or paragraph of text.

EGEL Plus Diseño Gráfico: Suggested Study Strategy

1Master prepress and technical print specifications: review color separations, dot gain, trapping, bleed settings, and substrate suitability for offset, flexo, and digital printing.
2Study typographic classifications and micro-typography: understand the historical taxonomy (humanist, transitional, modern, slab serif, grotesque) as well as optical vs. metric kerning and leading calculations.
3Review brand identity manuals: understand clear-space isolation rules, minimal reproduction sizes, color conversions (RGB to CMYK and Pantone solid spot inks), and signage legibility standards.
4Solidify visual semiotics and Gestalt principles: know how signifier, signified, and referent function in visual marks, and apply proximity, closure, continuity, and figure-ground in layout analysis.
5Pace yourself across the two 4.5-hour sessions; practice sustained analysis and learn to use only the permitted non-programmable scientific calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the EGEL Plus Diseño Gráfico (EGEL Plus DISEÑO)?

It is Mexico's official exit examination (Examen General para el Egreso de la Licenciatura) administered by Ceneval for graduating students of Graphic Design. Many Mexican universities use it as a formal titulación (degree conferral) pathway to assess whether graduates possess the essential disciplinary competencies and transversal communication skills required for entry into the design profession.

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

The current official guide specifies 200 three-option items and nine hours of response time in two 4.5-hour sessions: 140 disciplinary items across three areas and 60 transversal language and communication items.

Are calculators or design software allowed during the EGEL Plus DISEÑO?

Yes. The current official guide permits a non-programmable scientific calculator. Design software and communication-capable electronic devices are not permitted.

What score is required to pass the EGEL Plus?

Results are reported on the standardized Índice Ceneval scale ranging from 700 to 1300 points. A score of 700 to 999 is classified as 'Aún no satisfactorio' (not yet satisfactory), 1000 to 1149 is 'Satisfactorio' (satisfactory), and 1150 to 1300 is 'Sobresaliente' (outstanding). Most higher education institutions require at least 1000 points in both disciplinary and transversal components for graduation titulación.

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

The official Ceneval exam is conducted entirely in Spanish. OpenExamPrep publishes this resource as an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation. Disciplinary questions and explanations are in English, while the language and communication items use Spanish sentences and passages, because Spanish spelling, punctuation, agreement and reading are the skills the transversal section measures. Official items have three options; this bank uses four.

What areas does the EGEL Plus DISEÑO evaluate?

The disciplinary section covers Diseño de Comunicación Visual, Gestión de Proyectos de Diseño, and Producción de Proyectos de Diseño. The transversal section assesses Comprensión Lectora and Redacción Indirecta.
