system configuration; at home, the library, Career
Center Resource Room. It is suggested that the
individual taking the assessment be in a quiet area with
little to no interruptions.
How will these assessments rate my level of
knowledge? Each assessment will provide
three levels of questions which include basic,
intermediate and advanced. This will allow each
testing candidate to identify their level of expertise
in a chosen content area.
Will I be able to sit down with someone to
review my results? Yes, once you complete
the assessment, if you would like additional information
regarding your scores, you can schedule an appointment
the Career Center Representative who referred you or
bring in your results to meet with a Walk-In Career

Will I be able to see the questions I
answered incorrectly? No, you will not be
provided a list of questions that were missed, but you
will be provided with a detailed score report which will
inform you of specific topic areas you answered
incorrectly.
How are my scores interpreted?
Scores are distributed into three
categories, percent correct, percentile ranking and
global average. For example a test taker may
receive their results in the following format:
- Percent Correct: 60% - The percentage of questions
that were answered correctly.
- Percentile Ranking: 50% - The percentage of
correct answers, meaning the test taker scored 49%
higher than the norm group.
- Global Average: 56% - The average score of every
person who has taken this particular assessment.
What if I do not score well or want to bring
up my score? The purpose of Prove It! is to
