6  This presentation refers to Examinee ID. For the statewide testing program in South Carolina, Examinee ID will be the student’s State ID (not the PowerSchool ID).  The student’s State ID is 10 digits. ACT allows 11 digits. The Examinee ID should be flush left, with no trailing zeros.  Examinee ID is one of 5 match criteria used for testing records, so the same Examinee ID should be used on all Internet Version and paper testing assessments.

7  This presentation refers to “financial profiles.”  It is necessary to associate the correct financial profile with each test so costs are charged appropriately.  The correct financial profile is WorkKeys - Education Important Notes!

8  This presentation refers to identifying or selecting a “realm.”  It is the responsibility of testing staff to identify and select the correct realm so that data flows to the proper entity.  Testing associated with the incorrect realm may result in test results being permanently unavailable to SCDE and incorrect invoicing.  The correct realm will begin with “SCDE 11th Grade”. Important Notes!
