Proficiency Scores: DSU Students Compared to South Dakota and National User Norms
All students in the regental system must meet the minimum required score on each of the four tests. Students who do not meet the minimum required score must remediate and retest in that area(s) within one year. During Fall 2006, 20% of the DSU students did not meet the minimum score on one or more of the exams. Approximately 9% of the students in the regental system failed to meet the minimum required score on one or more of the exams during the past year. Since DSU has a relatively small number of students testing, one or two students can affect the average scores and the pass rates.
