Abstract
This paper analyses the results obtained by students of a bachelor’s degree in primary education in Saber Pro standardized tests in Colombia, which were taken as a graduation requirement. The data bases containing the results of the tests were downloaded from the website www.icfesinteractivo.gov.co and scores obtained by students of the bachelor’s degree in primary education (distance mode) were used. The students who took the Saber Pro tests in 2013 were homogeneously and standardly assessed in the following: citizen competences, written communication, English, critical reading, quantitative reasoning. The results show that for some competences the students’ scores are below the national group. Generally, undergraduate students are not seriously committed to Saber Pro tests, as these are considered as a mere graduation requirement rather than a possibility to improve the quality of higher education. The test is considered to go on one direction while students and education move to another direction, without the slightest possibility of reaching a point of convergence.
