Test Scores Mass Update

Select Registration > Utilities > Tools > Mass Update by Test Score
Use this utility to mass update student records for students who meet the test score criteria you identify. The Passed Score option lets you select a test score and define a passing test score value. The utility will then limit mass update processing to include only students who meet the test score value requirement you define. For the selected students, the utility then updates student information for the page and field value you indicate.

The ELA/CST Proficiency option lets you select a test score and define a passing test score to update student records. If students meet the ELA/CST Proficiency test score values for three times, then you can update such students as ELA CST Proficiency or Advanced and RFEP (Reclassified Fluent English Proficient). You can enter the recent date of the test score as the status date and start date for the Program. Based on this criteria, you can also update student information in other district-defined Pages. For more information on ELA/Proficiency, refer to CA Demographics and CA120 – English Proficiency sections.

  1. On the Mass Update by Test Scores page, enter the desired search criteria and click Load Records.
  2. Verify that the correct students were selected on the Records To Be Updated panel.
  3. To remove students from the list, check the Remove box, and select Remove.

  5. Select the option based on the type of district-defined page you need to update for students.
  6. On the Prompts panel, select the Area, the Field Name, and enter the New Value that you want to mass update for student records. If you selected a field that is program tracked, the Program Tracking Information column will display an Edit link and a red flag icon. You can also mass update the program tracked field. Click the Edit link to define the way the utility should handle closing existing program vectors and opening new ones.
  7. Click Run to mass update the student records with the values you entered.
