E-Proficiency Profile Reports Guide

E-Proficiency Profile is designed to measure the academic skills developed through general education courses, rather than the subject knowledge specifically taught in those courses.

EPP-Navy

There are two test forms available: Standard and Abbreviated.  Both forms are statistically equated assessments and offer the same level of score detail at the group level.

The Standard form provides:

  • a total score, subscores, and proficiency classifications for individual students
  • total scores, norm-referenced subscores, and criterion-referenced scores at the group level
  • an alphabetical roster with individual student scores

The Abbreviated form is statistically equated to the Standard form and provides:

  • a total score, but no subscores, for individual students
  • total scores, norm-referenced subscores, and criterion-referenced scores at the group level.  Thirty valid results are necessary to generate aggregate reports.

The E-Proficiency Profile has two scoring conventions: Norm-referenced scores (scaled scores) and criterion-referenced scores (proficiency classifications).

Report Access

LifeJourney is the source for all reports.  Institutions will find reports in the Dashboard under Administrations.

Institutional Score Report

The institutional score report contains information about the distribution of students’ scaled scores within the Reporting Group.  

  • Summary of Scaled Scores, Distribution of Scores, Total Scores (mean scaled score, standard deviation, confidence interval, percentiles)

  • Skill Dimension Subscores, Distribution of Scores, Total Scores (mean scaled score, standard deviation, confidence interval, percentiles)

  • Summary of Proficiency Classification

Individuals taking the E-Proficiency Profile are asked to demonstrate a wide variety of abilities across four skills, these skills are further categorized by levels of difficulty. Based on a score range, three performance levels can be earned. Performance Levels.

  • Context Bases Subscores, Distribution of Scores, Total Scores (mean scaled score, standard deviation, confidence interval, percentiles)

Learner Score Report

The learner score report is available to institutions and students (if institution selected "Show scores to students") and the format will vary based on the assessment form administered (standard or abbreviated).

  • Standard report elements: Total Score, Tested Skill Descriptions, Skill Dimension Subscores, Proficiency Classifications, and Context-Based Subscores


  • Abbreviated report elements: Total Score, and Tested Skill Descriptions

Recently asked questions....

Q: How is the total score calculated from raw data on Abbreviated EPP?
1. The student’s “raw score” is computed by counting the number of questions the student
answered correctly (there is no penalty for incorrect guessing).
2. A raw-to-scale conversion table converts the raw score to a scaled score.
 
Q: What is the total score range for each sub-test (such as the Critical Writing) for the standard exam?
Eight scaled scores are reported for students taking the E-Proficiency Profile test:
· a total score
· four skills subscores (critical thinking, reading, writing, mathematics)
· three context-based subscores (humanities, social sciences, natural sciences)
The total score is reported on a scale that extends from 400 to 500. The seven subscores are reported on a scale that extends from 100 to 130.
