2. Select the applicable Standardized Test from the pull-down for which you are importing data.
The listed standardized tests pulls from tests set up via Assessment > Standardized Tests.
There are currently three different options for importing test scores into Focus and the one that should be used will depend on how your source file is structured.
Standard
This type of file structure allows you to include a column for Test ID, Part ID, Score Type ID, and Score Value. There aren't any known providers that work with this structure but you may rearrange your file to this format as an alternative. You will have multiple rows for the same student and test administration.
Click the file/link below to download the THL Importer file layout.
File header example:
Score Types are split from Test Part columns
There's just one set of score columns but also one column for Test ID and one column for Test Part to identify the part those scores belong to for the test. You will have multiple rows for the same student and test administration. Score Types are split from Test Part columns.
This structure is also used in the Florida EOC tests, for example, but without a Test ID column, it needs to be run with method #1 described above.
File header example:
Test Part & Score Types are combined into one or more columns
In general, this is how third-party systems will generate their scores extracts. You'll have multiple sets of score columns where each set represents a specific test part. In this type of structure you won't have a column in the file with the Part Code ID. It should also have one record per student and test administration date.
Layouts are provided by the third-party system.
File header example:
1. Following the steps described in Import Tools: Import File, in the Import File pop-up window, select Test History from the Import Tool pull-down.
2. Select the Scores Layout from the provided pull-down. To determine the layout needed, see Scores Layout Description.
Any score layout option can and should be selected depending on how the file is formatted. When a Standardized Test is not selected (field is left blank) only two options are available (Split and Standard); however, only when a test is selected will all 3 options become available. At which point, "Combined" is the default option, which can still be changed to a different option when needed.
1. Import Keys can be reviewed and edited via Imports > Settings tab > Import Tool Settings tab > Student Information Tools tab.

Conversion Fields are set up via Imports > Settings > Conversion Fields. See Conversion Fields for more information.
The Default conversion fields are as follows:
For part_id, the default is subject_code.
For student_id, the default is student_id.
