The Student Test History application stores for individual students the history of standardized tests taken and their sub-test scores.  Examples of standardized tests include SAT, ACT, AP Exams, English Language assessments such as CELDT in California or WIDA in Michigan, and state proficiency examinations.   

Although test history records may be individually entered using this application, most standardized test data is typically imported (in bulk) for the school or district by a database administrator using the Q Test Import application.  The data is then available in the Student Test History application for reviewing, editing and reporting.

Student Test history is a Student Banner application.

Student Test History is located under the Testing menu in Q.

When Test Items are present, select the item, score type, and enter the score.
