Enter the name of the test score.

Note: Generally, test score names should include the test name. For example, test ACT would include test score ‘ACT Writing’. Now ACT Writing scores will not be confused with ‘SAT Writing’ scores.

“WASL High School” test scores are an exception to the general rule and should not include a test name prefix of “WASL”.

For the Transcript report, for the test of WASL High School, the following test scores are used. The spelling and spacing of the names must match as seen here:

• Reading
• Writing
• Mathematics
• Mathematics Year 1
• Mathematics Year 2
