On this non-experimental and correlational study participated the students who applied for this test on 2019, 57% of them were men and 43% women, 74% came from public high schools and the rest, from private and subsidized schools. The findings demonstrate that the specification table provides the first evidence associated with the test content, whose mathematical and verbal indicators are significantly associated with the trait of academic aptitude. Additionally, the predictive value of these test indicators and the grades of diversified education were verified with the performance of the students in the first period. It is concluded that validation should be a permanent and rigorous process to consolidate the design of a standardized test and guarantee the proper use and interpretation of its results. Esta investigación pretende demostrar las propiedades psicométricas de la prueba de admisión del Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica y presentar las evidencias de contenido, constructo y criterio para el modelo de medida. En el estudio no  experimental y correlacional participaron estudiantes que realizaron la prueba en 2019, de los cuales 57% eran hombres y 43% mujeres, 74% provenían de colegios públicos y el resto de colegios privados y subvencionados. Los hallazgos demostraron que la tabla de especificaciones proporciona las primeras evidencias asociadas al contenido, cuyos indicadores matemáticos y verbales se asociaron significativamente con el rasgo latente. También se comprobó el valor predictivo de estos indicadores y del promedio de la educación diversificada con respecto al rendimiento del estudiantado en el primer periodo universitario. Se concluyó que la validación debe ser un proceso permanente y riguroso para consolidar el diseño de una prueba y garantizar una interpretación y uso adecuado de sus resultados.
