Defining External Test Components

Important! Test score load and other processes and components discussed in the Processing External Test Scores documentation are deprecated. It is strongly recommended that you use Prospect/Admissions Data Load (PDL) instead. For more information on PDL, see the Prospect/Admissions Data Load documentation.

To set up the external test components, use the Test Component Table component (SA_TEST_COMP_TABLE).

Define the test components (such as verbal, math, and analytical) of external academic tests (such as the ACT, GMAT, and GRE). Also, create components of placement and other tests administered internally by your institution. If a component is used in more than one test, define it only once. Note that totals are not computed by the system, so if you want to enter and track totals, be sure to define Total as one of your test components.
