Cloze is a procedure with the potential of parsimoniously assessing the understanding of the scientific-academic text. There are no previous studies regarding the comprehension of Spanish texts at the postgraduate level. The aims of this study were: 1) to identify difficulty levels and discrimination index of the cloze items used in a postgraduate course (Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, Argentina); 2) to analyse whether the distribution of the items ranging from very easy to very hard corresponds to percentages advised by statistical theory; 3) to describe the participants’ functional reading levels and4) to estimate the incidence of intrinsic factors or aspects of the task in items’ difficulty. Eighty-two cloze tests were collected and statistically analysed. The analysis revealed acceptable psychometric qualities for the instrument and acceptable differential levels of difficulty in content words according to the factors under study.
