The Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency (CAAP) is a nationally-normed assessment program from ACT which measures outcomes of the general education programs at the end of the first 2 years of college.

The ETS® Proficiency Profile assesses four core skill areas: critical thinking, reading, writing, and mathematics--with a little bit of information literacy-- in a single test that the Voluntary System of Accountability (VSA) has selected as a gauge of general education outcomes. Option to add an essay to the ETS Proficiency Profile assessment is available as well as up to 50 locally authored questions. Fixed-choice questions, with a 40-minute version or a 2-hour version available. Cost is $12.50-$16.50 per student. 

 The Standardized Assessment of Information Literacy Skills (SAILS) test is a fixed-choice national test There are two forms of the SAILS information literacy test, one for individual test results, and one for groups (cohorts) of students. Both tests are based directly on the ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education. Cost is $5 per student for the cohort test and $6 per student for the individual test.
