Setting Up Class/Standard Profiles

(Click an image to enlarge it. Click anywhere off the image to close it.)

(Click here for printer friendly version.)

The class/standards profile relates the student IDs in your test results file to student names in a class or school roster. In addition, this profile specifies all the learning objectives/academic standards this class will cover. It also provides a grade scale. You can set up a single master profile for all classes, or create unique class/standards profiles for each class. Setting up the Class/Standards profile is optional, but makes your reports more informative. You can choose how much detail to specify in the Class/Standards profile: none of the information is required.

This profile works best if you are using a Scantron test form that supports student IDs.

CAUTION: If you are not using a test form that supports student IDs and want to see student names on the reports, you will need to enter student names on the reports directly, using the handwritten student names from the form. See Viewing Reports for more details on this process.

NOTE: If you choose to use Class/Standards profiles, you must define the profile before running reports on your test results.

NOTE: There are some specific tips and tricks for setting up profile information brought in from other systems (such as your student information system, or a state standards web site. See Class/Standards and Test Profile Tips and Tricks for details.
