El crecimiento de la demanda de nuevo ingreso a las Instituciones de Educación Superior combinado con la menor velocidad en la expansión de la oferta, ha impulsado la necesidad de aplicar criterios de selección, entre ellos los exámenes de ingreso.

Se utilizaron pruebas de independencia condicional, así como medidas de correlación simple.
