  1. Complete the setup box which defaults to your Country, State, and District based on your username.
  2. Click OK to move to the next screen.
  3. There will be four (4) sections to this screen.
    • Test List on the left--This includes the list of tests that have been set up for importing scores.
    • Definition Layout in the middle--This is the list of components that will be displayed in the Test Score Editor. These data elements will also be found in the Sample Layout at the bottom of the screen.
