Here's the quick-and-dirty for the ETS proficiency test:

It is 5% of your total grade


Even if you completely bomb it and get  everything wrong, you still get a score of 400, which equates to 75% of the total possible score of 500. 

So your grades break down this way. Let's say 1000 points total

Discussion forums     200
Written Assignents    300
Written Competence  100
ETS Proficiency           50
Complete capstone    350

So if you completely bomb the ETS you get 37.5 points instead of 50

Unless you *completely* screw up everything else, there is no possible way that the ETS proficiency test is going to affect your grade. You could lose 100 points *total* (in the above scenario) and still get an A.

In other words... don't study for it. Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter.
