About the ETS Major Field Test Custom Comparative Data Report The Custom Comparative Data Report can assist you in interpreting the scores from the Major Field Tests by helping you determine how your students' skills and knowledge compare with the skills and knowledge of students at similar institutions. The report generates descriptive statistics based on a reference group of 10 or more other institutions or programs of interest which you select. Information about an institution gathered through Major Field Tests 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. Below are descriptions of the various tables you can generate using this service: Individual Students Total Score/Subscore Distributions The distributions in these tables may be used to interpret individual student 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 "Percent Below," the percent of individuals scoring below any interval can be determined. Institutional Means 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 you selected. 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. Institutional Assessment Indicator Mean Score Distributions The assessment indicator summary information in these tables includes the frequency distribution of departmental/program means for each assessment indicator. These tables show the distribution of institutional rounded means as well as the average and standard deviations of those means. Note that not all Major Field Test titles in all subject areas generate subscores or assessment indicators. Please refer to the test content description for your subject area of interest at http://www.ets.org/mft/about/content/ to determine which score types you should expect to generate for your MFT test subject. 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 MFT. 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. It is important that these comparisons involve students at approximately the same point in their educational careers. The tables report data for seniors only. Students who are not seniors are excluded from these calculations. The tables report data for institutions/programs that have tested five (5) or more seniors. Institutions/programs with fewer than five (5) test takers are excluded from these calculations.
