Administering the ETS Major Field Tests
Flexible administration options
The Major Field Tests offer greater flexibility to meet your testing needs by allowing you to select when, where and how you administer the assessment. Institutions typically have their students take the Major Field Tests during their final year of study, after they successfully complete most of their major's required courses. However, there are no preset test administration dates — testing is conducted at your convenience, either onsite or remotely via computer, to meet your specific scheduling and staffing needs.
There are three types of administrations, all of which are proctored:
- on-campus paper tests
- on-campus online tests
- off-campus online tests
Off-campus testing
Major Field Tests can be administered online using remote proctoring, allowing you to assess your entire population regardless of physical location.
