Defining External Tests

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 define external tests, use the Test Tables component (SA_TEST_TABLE).
