Thank you for your response. 

I understand I need to be more specific, I have

Admissions=# \dt
        Listado de relaciones
 Esquema | Nombre  | Tipo  |  Dueño   
---------+---------+-------+----------
 public  | apply   | tabla | postgres
 public  | college | tabla | postgres
 public  | student | tabla | postgres
(3 filas)

SELECT sID, sName, GPA FROM Student WHERE GPA > 3.6;
ERROR:  no existe la relación «student»
LÍNEA 1: SELECT sID, sName, GPA FROM Student WHERE GPA > 3.6;

and I have read it may be because of the Schema Search Path as https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/ddl-schemas.html documents.

But I just can't try any Select  statement without unqualified names

I'm sure improvements to our docs are possible, but I very much doubt
a vague report like this qualifies as a bug.

It's really difficult to give you any advice if you don't tell us what
exactly have you been doing - which packages have you installed, what
commands have you tried running, which instructions have you been
following, what error messages you got, etc.

I'd suggest subscribing to pgsql-general and asking questions there,
there's plenty of users who'll happily help you. And of course, if you
have concrete examples of parts of the documentation that are not
detailed enough, please point them out and we'll try improving them.
