dc.description The study reported in this paper was: to estimate the reliability and validity of the English test administered to the candidates sitting the 2002 entrance examination for undergraduate courses at the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM/2002). The test’s reliability was estimated in the form of the correlation coefficient found with the test-retest method, and its validity was established on the basis of face validity and content validity. The sample population consisted of students completing their education at a high school in 2002. The results indicated that, albeit significantly generalisable to the entire population of
 examinees, the UFAM/2002 English test had neither reliability nor face or content validity.
 
 Key words: English-Examination, Research-Reliability, Research-Validity
 
 El estudio reportado en este documento tuvo como finalidad estimar la confiabilidad y validez de un examen de inglés administrado a los candidatos del año 2002 al examen de admisión para cursos de pregrado en la Universidad
 Federal de Amazonas (UFAM/2002). La confiabilidad del estudio se estimó mediante la correlación de coeficiente encontrado con el método test-retest y la validez se estableció a partir de la validez de forma y de contenido. La muestra poblacional consistió en un grupo de estudiantes que estaba culminando sus estudios de secundaria en el 2002. Los resultados indicaron que a pesar de la generalización significativa a toda la población de examinados, el examen de inglés de la UFAM/2002 no tuvo ni confiabilidad ni validez en su contenido.
