PACHANO AZUAJE, Felipe. Identification of non-random patterns in the admission exams in the University of Los Andes. La Revista Venezolana de Educación (Educere) [online]. 2005, vol.9, n.30, pp.383-389. ISSN 1316-4910.

This article proposes a strategy for verifying the randomness of the distribution of right choices in the Admission Tests of Universidad de Los Andes. This strategy is based on applying a set of statistic tests over the right answers sheet before each admission test is applied. For verifying the quality of this strategy, it is applied over five answers sheets of tests that were recently applied, as well as in simulated pseudo-random and random tests. Results show, on one hand, that the strategy is valid and convenient, on the other hand, that some of the admission tests in Universidad de Los Andes do not satisfy randomness criteria.
