2015 ETS Proficiency Profile Comparative Data Guide for Proctored Administrations

2015 ETS Proficiency Profile Comparative Data Guide for Proctored Administrations The annual Comparative Data Guide (CDG) contains tables of scaled scores and percentiles for institutional means and individual student scores drawn directly from test takers across the nation. The CDG can assist you in interpreting the scores from the ETS Proficiency Profile by helping you determine how your students' skills compare with the skills of students at similar institutions. The report provides descriptive statistics based on the number of students that have completed a proctored version of the ETS Proficiency Profile between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2015. Information about an institution gathered through ETS Proficiency Profile administrations cannot be released in any form attributable to or identifiable with an individual institution. The anonymity of each institution s performance is maintained by reporting only the aggregate performance of the selected reference group. are descriptions of the various tables provided in this guide: Institutional s Total Score/Subscore Distributions The distributions in these tables present the number of institutions at each mean score level. These tables provide a way to compare the Total Score and Subscore means for your institution with those of other participating institutions. These tables show the mean of means (or the average of the mean scores for those institutions/programs selected) as well as the standard deviations of those means. Individual Students Total Score/Subscore Distributions The distributions in these tables may be used to interpret results by determining what percent of those taking the test at the selected institutions attained scores below that of a particular student. Each table shows scaled score intervals for Total Score and Subscores separately. By looking up the Total Score or Subscore and reading across the row to the corresponding number in the column headed, the percent of individuals scoring below any interval can be determined. Summary of Proficiency Classifications This table presents the percentage of students classified as Proficient, Marginal, and Not Proficient for each skill dimension and level. This table provides a way to compare the proficiency levels at your institution with the selected test taker population. Descriptions of the competencies and abilities measured at each Proficiency Level can be found at http://www.ets.org/proficiencyprofile/scores/proficiency_classifications/. The following considerations should be kept in mind when interpreting comparative data: This data should be considered comparative rather than normative because the institutions included in the data do not represent proportionally the various types of higher education institutions and programs. The data are drawn entirely from institutions that choose to use the ETS Proficiency Profile. Such a self-selected sample may not be representative of all institutions or programs. The number of students tested and sampling procedures vary from one institution to another. Therefore, it is impossible to verify that the students tested at each institution are representative of all the institution s students in that program. Only those institutions testing 30 or more students in a college class were included in the analyses for that college class. with fewer than 30 test takers at that class level are excluded from these calculations. The score distribution used to compute these statistics has been modified, to prevent the statistics from being dominated by a few very large institutions. If an institution contributed more than 3300 students to this data set, the score of each of its students has been weighted by the fraction 3300/n, where n is the number of students from that institution. For example, if an institution tested 6600 students, the score of each of its students would receive a weight of 3300/6600 = 1/2. In computing the statistics, each of its students would count only half as much as a student from an institution that tested 3300 or fewer students. Therefore, an institution testing 6600 students would influence the statistics just as much as if it had tested only 3300 students.

If an institution contributed more than 3300 students to this data set, the score of each of its students has been weighted by the fraction 3300/n, where n is the number of students from that institution. For example, if an institution tested 6600 students, the score of each of its students would receive a weight of 3300/6600 = 1/2. In computing the statistics, each of its students would count only half as much as a student from an institution that tested 3300 or fewer students. Therefore, an institution testing 6600 students would influence the statistics just as much as if it had tested only 3300 students.
