PowerSchool: Adding Student "Test Scores" (NJHSPA, Option 2 Courses etc.)


In order to report data on our Report Cards and Transcripts for NJHSPA, Option 2 courses, and other pass/fail courses (without any credit or grades), we will be using the "Test Scores" feature of PowerSchool to enter data.

This feature is not available through PowerTeacher Gradebook, this "Test Scores" function is accessible via PowerSchool "admin" area only.


How to Enter Student Test Scores

1. On the start page, search for and select a student.
2. Under Academics, choose Test Scores from the student pages menu. The Test Scores page appears for that student.


3. Choose a test from the Enter New Test pop-up menu. If selecting the test that currently appears, click Submit. The New Student Test: [Test Name] page appears.

4. Use the following table to enter information in the fields:

Test: The selected test appears.
Date: Enter the date of the test using the format mm/dd/yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy. If you do not use this format, an alert appears. If you submit the date with an incorrect format, the date field is submitted as a blank entry.
Term: Choose the term from the pop-up menu.
Grade Level: Enter the grade level for the test.
Score: For each of the test scores, enter one or more of the following: the number score, the percent score, or the alpha score.

In the MCVSD, we will typically use the Alpha test score and type-in single letters or words. An example would be NJHSPA test data, with the two possibilities of Pass or Fail entered in the Alpha test score.

5. Click Submit. The Test Scores page displays the new test score for that student.
6. Repeat the steps above to add additional Test Scores for that student, or choose another student or other menu to continue working in PowerSchool.
