What is the ETS Proficiency Profile?
The ETS Proficiency Profile is a standardized test developed by the College Board, a national nonprofit association. The ETS Proficiency Profile measures college-level reading, critical thinking, writing, and mathematics in the context of material from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Questions do not require recall of specific information but focus on issues, themes, and ideas. Because this assessment focuses on skills and not facts or content, it can be utilized as a common measure for general education after the core curriculum is completed, regardless of the programs or specific course requirements for specific majors.
