Student Data Uploads• Student Data Uploads were formerly known as Pre-ID
files or Mass-load files• Most Student Data Uploads (SDU’s) will be sent to
Pearson by the Ga DOE Data Collections Division• SDU’s will be accepted from systems for EOCT Mid-
month and new student updates only for EOCT main administrations
• Pearson Access SDU file layout differs from data file submitted to GaDOE
• ALL students must be included on files sent to GaDOE regardless of testing method
Student Data Upload (SDU) Best Practices: What can an SDU accomplish?
• An SDU can:– register a student for a test administration– create a class and add a student to that class– assign a student to a test (paper/pencil and online)– modify existing “Student Registration” demographics
• An SDU cannot: – create an online test session– add students to an already existing online test session– modify a student’s Master Record demographics: First
Name, Last Name, Date of Birth, Gender or GTID– modify an existing test’s Class Name
SDU Best Practices:What resources are needed?
• Student Data File Upload Requirements• Student Data File Layout
– Emailed from Pearson at the start of an administration
– Posted on Pearson Access website– Check for the updated versions of these resources
at the beginning of each test administration
SDU Best Practices:Tips for a successful upload
• The header row MUST be removed prior to submission.
• SDU file must be saved as a .csv (comma-separated) file and uploaded in that format. Do not submit the file using .xls (Excel template default). Opening .csv file in Excel before uploading removes formatting. Use Notepad or text editor to review your file without losing formatting.
• Use Teacher Last Name field for your Class Name to make adding students to sessions easy
