This research is the second version of the criteria for the reading comprehension test that was created by “Lenguage y Cognicion of Javeriana University in 2007in order to know the performance of the candidates for the degrees in Political Sciences and Journalism, First of all, we designed the test with 30 items. Additionally, 18 students from nursing school took the pilot survey. Then, with the information collected and the analysis of each question; it is possible to establish that most of the results are measured in a medium level of difficulty with 44% of all the items evaluated. There are 6 items with 20 % of high level of complexity and with the same number of items with a low difficulty giving the test another 20 %. The rest of the results were measured with very high or very low results with 16%. That is why, that 16 % for us was a concerning matter and guided us to modify 18 ways to answer the 120 options in total and 2 items of the questions from the survey. This analysis accomplished what we wanted and expected a medium level of difficulty for the candidates. For that reason, it is important to say that the second version of the criteria reading comprehension test is applicable with the modifications that were suggested previously.
