Knowledge Test

Dear Mr Cifuentes,

As I have not reached you by telephone, I am writing to complain about the “Knowledge Test” which I presented to you last month in Medellin. The test assesses the knowledge of a person in a specific major and I was evaluated in biomedical engineering.

I am unsatisfied with the test because I think that this test should not be paid for by the student, however I had to pay. Also, it’s not known what this money is allocated for. Apart from this on Sunday is the only day one can take this test. This test cannot be taken another day and Sunday is usually my rest day.

I thought this test assessed the knowledge acquired through the major during the ten semesters, but it did not. The test is very widespread. In the morning I took similar topics of other major and in the afternoon I took specific tests of my major. The specific tests had not relation with my major and although I studied I never could answer the questions.

Finally I think that this test is too long. I wasted about 8 hours taking it. Finishing the test all people felt mental exhaustion, which did not allowed us to read and answer the last questions clearly.


In my opinion I think this test should be reevaluated by qualified staff so that each test is classified in a specific major and there are not more drawbacks. Also, tests should be offered in flexible schedule or in different days. So that the test does not waste many hours and no one should pay for it.


Yours sincerely
