1An IT department is evaluating a cloud migration project with an initial investment of USD 120,000. Expected net cash savings are USD 50,000 at the end of Year 1, USD 50,000 at the end of Year 2 and USD 40,000 at the end of Year 3. Using a 10% discount rate, what is the project's net present value (NPV)? (Present value factors at 10%: Year 1 = 0.9091, Year 2 = 0.8264, Year 3 = 0.7513.)
A.USD 6,827
B.USD 20,000
C.−USD 4,150
D.USD 14,500
Explanation: Discount each inflow: Year 1 = 50,000 × 0.9091 = 45,455; Year 2 = 50,000 × 0.8264 = 41,320; Year 3 = 40,000 × 0.7513 = 30,052. The discounted inflows total USD 126,827, so NPV = 126,827 − 120,000 = USD 6,827. A positive NPV means the project earns more than the 10% required return.
2In strategic IT planning, which tool systematically analyzes Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats to align IT capabilities with business goals?
A.Porter's Five Forces Model
B.SWOT (FODA) Analysis
C.Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix
D.Balanced Scorecard Strategy Map
Explanation: SWOT (FODA in Spanish: Fortalezas, Oportunidades, Debilidades, Amenazas) evaluates internal factors (strengths and weaknesses of the existing IT infrastructure, talent, and processes) alongside external market factors (opportunities and threats from emerging technologies, competitors, and regulatory shifts).
3An enterprise defines its Disaster Recovery objectives: Recovery Time Objective (RTO) = 2 hours and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) = 15 minutes. What do these metrics mandate for the IT infrastructure?
A.Systems must be restored within 15 minutes of an outage, and data backups must occur every 2 hours
B.Backups must be kept for 2 hours, and data replication latency must be under 15 milliseconds
C.Systems must be restored within 2 hours of an outage, and no more than 15 minutes of transactional data can be lost
D.The emergency generator must start within 15 minutes, and full operational failover must complete in 2 days
Explanation: RTO defines the maximum acceptable duration of system downtime before service restoration. RPO defines the maximum acceptable data loss measured in time between the last valid backup/replication point and the disaster event. An RTO of 2 hours means operations must resume within 2 hours; an RPO of 15 minutes means at most 15 minutes of data may be lost.
4When comparing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) between an on-premise data center and a public cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution, which cost element represents a Capital Expenditure (CapEx) in the on-premise model that becomes an Operational Expenditure (OpEx) in IaaS?
A.Software developer salaries and benefits
B.Third-party software architecture consulting fees
C.End-user technical support desk ticketing
D.Physical server hardware acquisition and SAN storage arrays
Explanation: Purchasing physical server hardware, racks, and SAN storage arrays for an on-premise data center requires upfront capital outlay (CapEx), depreciated over several years. In IaaS, physical hardware provisioning is replaced by recurring pay-as-you-go utility subscriptions, which are treated as operational expenses (OpEx).
5A business process analyst uses BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) to document an order fulfillment workflow. Which BPMN symbol represents an event that triggers or interrupts the flow, such as receiving a customer message or reaching a timer deadline?
A.A circle
B.A rounded rectangle
C.A diamond
D.A solid sequence arrow
Explanation: In BPMN standard notation: Circles represent Events (start, intermediate, end), rounded rectangles represent Activities (tasks, sub-processes), diamonds represent Gateways (exclusive, parallel, inclusive decisions), and solid arrows represent Sequence Flows.
6An organization is issuing a formal procurement document to request competitive technical solutions, commercial pricing, and delivery timelines from qualified software vendors for an ERP upgrade. Which document should be issued?
A.Request for Information (RFI)
B.Request for Proposal (RFP)
C.Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
D.Service Level Agreement (SLA)
Explanation: A Request for Proposal (RFP) is a formal procurement tender requesting detailed technical solutions, implementation methodologies, pricing, and schedules from prospective vendors to solve a well-defined business problem. An RFI is exploratory, an NDA handles confidentiality, and an SLA governs active operational service performance.
7A branch office has 45 employees who concurrently transfer large medical imaging files. If each workstation requires an average continuous throughput of 8 Mbps to the centralized hospital server, what is the minimum dedicated network bandwidth required to prevent saturation?
A.450 Mbps
B.56.25 Mbps
C.360 Mbps
D.100 Mbps
Explanation: Total bandwidth = 45 workstations × 8 Mbps = 360 Mbps. The dedicated link needs at least 360 Mbps to carry the peak concurrent load without saturating.
8Which cloud computing deployment model provides computing resources exclusively for a single organization comprising multiple consumer business units, hosted on-premise or by a third party?
A.Public Cloud
B.Community Cloud
C.Hybrid Multi-Tenant Cloud
D.Private Cloud
Explanation: According to NIST SP 800-145, a Private Cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization comprising multiple consumers. It may be owned, managed, and operated by the organization, a third party, or a combination, and may exist on or off premises.
9A proposed automated warehouse system costs USD 250,000 to implement and produces cumulative operating cost reductions of USD 350,000 over 3 years. What is the return on investment (ROI)?
A.40%
B.140%
C.28.6%
D.71.4%
Explanation: ROI = net benefit / cost × 100%. Net benefit = 350,000 − 250,000 = USD 100,000, so ROI = 100,000 / 250,000 = 40%.
10In Michael Porter's Value Chain Model, which category includes IT infrastructure, systems development, and data management supporting primary operational activities?
A.Primary Activities (Inbound Logistics)
B.Support Activities (Technology Development)
C.Primary Activities (Operations)
D.Primary Activities (Service)
Explanation: In Porter's Value Chain, activities are divided into Primary Activities (Inbound Logistics, Operations, Outbound Logistics, Marketing & Sales, Service) and Support Activities (Firm Infrastructure, Human Resource Management, Technology Development, Procurement). IT falls under Technology Development as a support activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the EGEL Plus Informática?

The EGEL Plus Informática (EGEL Plus INFO) is Ceneval's national exit examination for graduates of the Licenciatura en Informática and related programs. It measures the knowledge and skills considered indispensable at the end of the degree, plus Spanish reading comprehension and indirect writing. Institutions may use the result as a graduation requirement, a titulación option or part of a course grade, under their own rules; a Testimonio does not by itself determine the award of the degree or the cédula profesional.

How many questions are on the official EGEL Plus INFO and how long is it?

The official exam has 200 items: 140 disciplinary items (Necesidades informáticas de una organización 36, Gestión de proyectos informáticos 34, Implementación de sistemas de información 36, Función informática 34) and 60 Lenguaje y Comunicación items (30 reading comprehension and 30 indirect writing). It is given on one day in two sessions of 4.5 hours each (9 hours). About 15% of the items are pilot items that do not count toward the result.

How is the EGEL Plus INFO scored?

Each area and section is reported on the Índice Ceneval from 700 to 1300: 700-999 Aún no satisfactorio, 1000-1149 Satisfactorio and 1150-1300 Sobresaliente. Areas are weighted by their number of items within each section. The global result follows a conjunctive rule weighted toward the disciplinary section: Satisfactorio or better in the disciplinary section earns at least a Testimonio de Desempeño Satisfactorio, while a Testimonio de Desempeño Sobresaliente requires Sobresaliente in the disciplinary section and at least Satisfactorio in Lenguaje y Comunicación.

Can I use a calculator or formula sheet on the EGEL Plus INFO?

The official guide allows a non-programmable scientific calculator, which may not be shared between candidates. No formula sheet is listed among the permitted materials, so memorize the formulas you need, such as those for critical path float, earned value and net present value.

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

The official Ceneval exam is in Spanish. This bank is an independent English-language study adaptation with four-option questions, not an official translation or format simulation, so you can review the informatics content. It covers the four disciplinary areas only and does not include Lenguaje y Comunicación items.

How does EGEL Plus Informática differ from EGEL Plus Ciencias Computacionales?

They are separate Ceneval exams. Informática applies IT to organizations: business models and IT needs, IT project management, implementation of information systems, and the IT function, including audit, security and evaluation. Ciencias Computacionales weights algorithms, discrete mathematics, system software such as compilers and operating systems, and intelligent computing.
