Entering Test Results

The Test Results page is global. It is possible to fetch the test scores from the Test Credits - Automated page when test scores are entered manually or using the Load Test Scores from an External File process. In the test credits - automated process, a test credit rule is used to award a "course" credit for a test score within a specified range to a student.

Hi Shirley, Thanks for asking such a great question. The following QRG Assigning a Milestone to an Individual Student will walk you through deleting a Milestone without Correct History. https://ctclinkreferencecenter.ctclink.us/m/79558/l/1007816-9-2-assigning-a-milestone-to-an-individual-student Have a great day, Shirley! ~Tanjagay Martin | CS Core Trainer
