Create a test category

In order to record test scores for students, a Grading Manager must first create a test category for each test type. Examples of test categories include: PSAT, SAT, ISEE, SSAT, etc.

From the persona menu, select Academics.
Select Grades then choose Grading setup.
Select Tests.
Select Add.
Enter a Sort Order. This numerical value dictates the order items appear in the list. If you leave this blank, the default sort order is alphabetical.
Enter a Test Description for example, ISEE, ERB, PSAT.
Select if the test results should Print on Report Card and Print on Transcript.
Enter a Number of Subtests. Each of the suggested tests above has individual scores that roll up to an overall number. This is the place to break those out.
Select Next.
The screen refreshes and gives a number of boxes to enter Subtest Description and Sort Order. If you created too many subtest boxes, select Delete next to the extra field. Select Add Subtest to add an additional field.
When you are finished, Select Save & Exit or Save & Add Another.
