Students will take the tests around the state. These results must be loaded to the Noncourses file. Certainly a programming issue. Once the results are loaded to the Noncourses file, a means must be found to retrieve the data items desired by the English and Math Departments. These data elements must be electronically transmitted to the departments, where letters will be prepared for individual students advising them as to the appropriate courses that they should register for.
Additional students take the test on our campus on the day before orientation.
These results are scanned. The programming to scan these results into the Noncourses file must take place. Additionally, these results must be FTP'd to Madison for inclusion in the master file. An additional problem revolves around the reporting to teachers. Currently, we prepare a list of students by section for selected courses.
