A random sample was selected (n = 48). The type of difficulty and discrimination coefficient of the biserial point were calculated in the Excel spreadsheet software for Windows XP. The reliability of the questions and the exam was obtained by calculating Cronbach's Alpha in the Epidat 4.1 program.Results: the items on health prevention, traditional natural medicine and communicable diseases predominated, with a lack of correspondence between these and the time fund according to the calendar plan. Most of the topics presented easy difficulty and the exam presented medium-easy difficulty, in correspondence with a predominance of questions with low discriminating power and question number seven affected the internal consistency, which was generally acceptable.Conclusions: the exam did not present a balanced difficulty, in correspondence with a mostly poor discrimination and the internal consistency was acceptable.
