Reviewing Test Score Candidate Data

Important! Test score load and other processes and components discussed in this 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.

This section provides an overview of test score candidate data and discusses how to review:

  • Candidate data personal information.

  • Academic information.

  • Student profile high school and college activity information.

  • Interest information.

The search/match/post process creates test score candidate data only if you are posting to Campus Solutions. If you are posting to CRM, the process does not create test score candidate data.

The search/match/post process posts candidate data (according to the test) to the Test Score Candidate Data component. This component is informational only. The data in this component does not affect other data in your database. For example, if you change a person's name in this component, it does not change the name anywhere else in the system. If you choose however to create prospects from test scores, some of this data is used for the process, such as graduation date, intended major, and extracurricular activities.

Many of the values and codes that appear in the Test Score Candidate Data components are based on values and codes that the testing agency defines. Contact the testing agency that manages the test for full descriptions of the data that appears in these pages or refer to the test score layout that you received from the testing agency.

Before entering the Test Score Candidate Data component, you must enter the test ID. The pages in the component dynamically appear based on the test ID that you entered. The number of pages that appear in the component depend on the test ID. You must have Test ID Security defined for your user ID in order to access the component. The pages shown here are examples of the Test Score Candidate Data component.
