Test Score Information section

Use the Test Score Information section to record test scores. This section can be expanded using the Test Scores (1), Test Scores (2), Test Scores (3), and Percentiles tabs. Each section displays additional fields for each record in the section.

The Percentiles section contains fields used for test percentiles and percentile types from test score data load processing. Each percentile record has five rows so that percentiles with multiple types can be displayed. For example, an SAT verbal test score has a national percentile type and a state percentile type associated with it. If more than five percentiles are associated with a single test score, you can scroll through the records to view additional information.

Note: The percentiles reside in a different table (SORTSPC) than the test score information.

Select the Individual’s Checklist Items option in the Options Menu to view checklist items for the ID in the Key section by term and application number.

Fields	Descriptions
Test Code	Test score code and description associated with the various tests (for example, SAT and ACT). Choices come from the Test Score Validation (STVTESC) page.
Test Score	Score for the test. The valid range for the test score is displayed at the bottom of the Display section. Information from the Test Score Validation (STVTESC) page appears at the bottom of the screen in the Display section, and displays when you move your cursor to this field.
Test Date	Date the test was taken. This date is entered automatically in the untitled Comment field associated with the test in the Checklist Summary window of the Admissions Application (SAAADMS) page. If a test score is a checklist item on a student's admissions application, the checklist is automatically updated with the most recent test date from the Test Date field on SOATEST.
Use the Test Scores (1) section to view these fields.
Admission Request	Code that links test scores entered on this page with admissions request test scores in the Checklist Detail window on the Admission Application (SAAADMS) page. When this code matches the Admissions Request (Checklist Item Code) in the Checklist Detail window, the Received Date in the Checklist Detail window is updated if the date is blank. Choices come from the Admissions Request Code Validation (STVADMR) list. Information appears in this field automatically if the test score is defined in the Admissions Checklist Request Item field on the Test Code Validation (STVTESC) page. This value comes from STVTESC. It can be changed.
Source	Source used to enter the associated test score (for example, data load or self-reported). Choices come from the Admission Test Score Source (STVTSRC) list.
Equivalency Indicator	This check box is a not null field whose default value is N. If the check box is checked (Y), then the corresponding test record was created as the result of the equivalency processing function within SRKTEST. When a test score is inserted into SORTEST by the SRKTEST package, if an equivalency is created for that test score, the Equivalency Indicator check box will be checked (Y). In addition, the effective term code of the record from SOATEQU used in determining the equivalency score will be inserted into the Term field (`SORTEST_TERM_CODE_ENTRY`) of the equivalent test score record. This helps determine which equivalency record was used in calculating the equivalency for a specific test score.
Revised or Recentered	Code that indicates whether the SAT score is recentered, revised, or both. Choices are: X - The score is revised. R - The score is recentered. Z - The score is revised and recentered. Null - The score is not revised or recentered. This value is loaded during the data load process.
Use the Test Scores (2) section to view these fields.
Administration Type	Method used to administer the test (for example, locally or nationally). Choices come from the Admissions Test Administration Type Validation list (STVTADM).
Purpose	Purpose or reason for taking the test. Choices come from the Test Purpose Validation (STVTEPR) list.
Form	Test page code. This field is informational only. Choices come from the Test Form Validation (STVTEFR) list.
Accommoda-tion	Special accommodations made for this test and student. Choices come from the Test Accommodation Validation (STVTEAC) list.
Instrument	Instrument used to take the test. Choices come from the Test Instrument Validation (STVTEIN) list.
Use the Test Scores (3) section to view these fields.
Term	Term during which the test score information was recorded, or the term for which the applicant is applying. Choices come from the Term Code Validation (STVTERM) list or the Admissions Application Summary (SAASUMI) page. Test scores can be stand-alone or associated with an application. If association with an application is desired, the term and application number entered must represent a valid application. (Test scores added by the AMCAS application load process will associate the MCAT score with a specific application.)
Application Number	Application number. Use zero (0) for no specific application. Choices come from the Admissions Application Summary (SAASUMI) page. Test scores can be stand-alone or associated with an application. If association with an application is desired, the term and application number entered must represent a valid application. (Test scores added by the AMCAS application load process will associate the MCAT score with a specific application.)
Release Indicator	Check box that indicates that the person authorized release of information to other parties, for example, for search services use. (Test scores added by the AMCAS application load process will set the Release Indicator when Med/Mar processing is authorized by the person.) Choices are: checked - Release of information is authorized. unchecked - Release of information is not authorized.
Instrument ID	Instrument used to record the document number used by the person for a test. (Writing Sample test scores loaded by the AMCAS application load process use this field to store the Writing Sample Lithocode.)
SAT Essay ID	Web SAT Essay ID from the essay portion of the SAT test.
