Library of Examples for the PPAT Assessment

The Library of Examples is a collection of actual written responses submitted by PPAT test takers. The responses vary in writing style and presentation, but the most important factor is how well the evidence addresses the guiding prompts and rubrics.

 

Comparing your responses

The examples show how other candidates in your subject area responded to the guiding prompts and provide a stronger and weaker response to the same textbox. Compare your responses to determine if your work contains sufficient evidence to fully address each guiding prompt.

Remember, you should only use the examples for comparison purposes. The work you submit must be yours and yours alone. ETS uses software to scan all responses for overlap with test-taker submissions from all submission windows and from the Library of Examples. Any overlap may be investigated and your scores could be voided. See Scoring Policies.
