ETS Proficiency Profile FAQ

The Proficiency Profile can be taken in a classroom setting or unproctored at home, the assessment takes 45 minutes and requires the ETS Online Testing Browser which can be downloaded at this link: https://www.programworkshop.com/PW2/SiteReadiness/1.1/Home/Home/Home?SK=415.

How does Fayetteville State University use the Proficiency Profile?

FSU uses the Proficiency Profile to assess how well our programs help students develop the skills and knowledge that make up our core learning outcomes: Criticial Thinking, Communication Skills, and Quantitative Reasoning. FSU wants to ensure that students graduate with the tools they need to be informed professionals and citizens. By giving the Proficiency Profile to freshman and seniors, we can gather longitudinal data which allows the University to measure student improvement during their undergraduate tenure. Additionally, in testing transfer students prior to graduation, we are able to gather cross-sectional data. Both sets of data are used to improve our programs and to serve students better.
