Customize test content

Academic departments can choose the following customization options:

  1. Add up to two subgroup questions, which can help an institution identify performance of a specific group or compare across different groups (e.g., major, gender, ethnicity, transfer status).
  2. Add up to 50 locally authored questions, which can be used to cover an area of concentration unique to the program.1

The combined information from your own content plus your scores from the Major Field Test can help give you a better insight into your program.
