1Identify the pair of words that best completes the analogy: Book is to Author as Painting is to:
A.Canvas
B.Painter
C.Museum
D.Palette
Explanation: The relationship is between a creative product and its creator. An author creates a book, and a painter creates a painting.
2Which of the following words is the closest synonym to 'efímero' (ephemeral)?
A.Duradero
B.Fugaz
C.Eterno
D.Constante
Explanation: 'Efímero' means lasting for a very short time. 'Fugaz' (fleeting) expresses the exact same concept of brief duration.
3Which of the following words is the direct antonym of 'benevolente' (benevolent)?
A.Generoso
B.Malévolo
C.Compasivo
D.Indulgente
Explanation: 'Benevolente' means well-meaning, kindly, and inclined to do good. 'Malévolo' means having or showing a wish to do evil to others, making it the direct antonym.
4Choose the word that logically completes the sentence: 'Although the initial hypothesis seemed improbable, subsequent experimental observations provided _______ evidence supporting it.'
A.compelling
B.negligible
C.contradictory
D.irrelevant
Explanation: The concessive conjunction 'Although' indicates a contrast between the initial doubt ('improbable') and the positive outcome of the experiments, requiring a supportive word like 'compelling'.
5Identify the pair of words that best completes the analogy: Thermometer is to Temperature as Clock is to:
A.Pendulum
B.Time
C.Alarm
D.Gear
Explanation: A thermometer is an instrument designed to measure temperature. Similarly, a clock is an instrument designed to measure time.

A.Aseveración
B.Pesquisa
C.Ignorancia
D.Omisión
Explanation: 'Indagación' refers to the act of researching, probing, or inquiring into something. 'Pesquisa' is a precise synonym meaning formal inquiry or factual investigation.
7Which of the following is the direct antonym of 'copioso' (copious / abundant)?
A.Abundante
B.Escaso
C.Excesivo
D.Fértil
Explanation: 'Copioso' means plentiful or abundant in quantity. The direct antonym is 'escaso' (scarce, meager, or lacking).
8Complete the analogy based on functional relationships: Architect is to Blueprint as Composer is to:
A.Orchestra
B.Score
C.Instrument
D.Concert
Explanation: An architect creates a blueprint as the written design and structural plan for a building. Similarly, a composer creates a musical score as the written notation and structural plan for a musical work.

A.nevertheless
B.consequently
C.on the contrary
D.otherwise
Explanation: The second clause expresses the direct causal result of the first clause (implementing emission controls led to improved air quality). 'Consequently' is the appropriate consecutive connector.
10In scientific and academic contexts, what is the meaning of the word 'plausible'?
A.Proven beyond all possible doubt
B.Credible and reasonable based on available evidence
C.Universally accepted by consensus
D.Theoretically impossible but observed in practice

UANL Bachillerato: Suggested Study Strategy

1Review the official Guía para aspirantes al Nivel Medio Superior published by UANL Centro de Evaluaciones to familiarize yourself with the question types.
2Practice solving numerical series and algebraic problems by hand, as calculators are strictly prohibited on test day.
3Pace yourself during Session 1: you have 90 minutes to complete 83 questions across verbal and numerical skills, which equals roughly one minute per question.
4Strengthen foundational Spanish grammar and orthography rules (agudas, graves, esdrújulas, punctuation, and direct/indirect objects).
5Give every area real study time: each is scored 0-100, so the 25-item Matemáticas section carries the same 100 points as the 50-item Habilidad verbal section.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the UANL Bachillerato Admission Diagnostic?

It is the diagnostic exam used in the Proceso de Asignación de Espacios en la Educación Media Superior del Estado de Nuevo León. UANL's Centro de Evaluaciones applies it on behalf of the state's public upper-secondary system: CECYTE, the Preparatoria Técnica "General Emiliano Zapata", DGETI, DGETAyCM, CONALEP, the Colegio Militarizado "General Mariano Escobedo", CEDART Alfonso Reyes, UANL, and the Nuevo León Secretaría de Educación.

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

The exam consists of 228 multiple-choice questions with four options (A-D), administered in two separate sessions on the same test day: Session 1 covers Habilidad verbal (50 items) and Habilidad numérica (33 items) in 90 minutes; Session 2 covers Español (40 items), Matemáticas (25 items), Ciencias naturales (40 items), and Ciencias sociales (40 items) in 150 minutes, totaling up to 4 hours.

How is the exam scored and how are school placements assigned?

Each of the six areas is scored from 0 to 100, even though the areas have different numbers of items, for a maximum of 600 points. The participating institutions assign places according to each applicant's score and the places available at each school. Results were published from 29 June 2026.

Are there one or two annual application cycles?

The official 2026 statewide call documents one in-person sitting on 6 June 2026. It does not establish a second annual examination cycle, so applicants should rely on the current call for future dates.

Are calculators or electronic devices allowed during the diagnostic exam?

No. The 2026 guide prohibits calculators and other electronic devices, such as mobile phones and headphones, during the diagnostic, so all arithmetic, algebra, and physics calculations must be done by hand.

Is the official exam in Spanish, and why is this practice bank in English?

Yes. The official UANL diagnostic is written and administered in Spanish. This OpenExamPrep bank is an independent English-language, four-option MCQ adaptation for bilingual and international learners. Items that test Spanish itself (vocabulary, spelling, accentuation, agreement, and syntax) keep their Spanish words and sentences, with explanations in English.
