# Test Scores Page

> [!NOTE]
> 📚 Part of the series **Application Building Phase II:** [**The Slate-hosted Application**](/v1/docs/introduction-to-the-slate-hosted-application)

The **test scores page** is a [standard Slate-hosted application page](/v1/docs/custom-application-pages-overview#test-scores) that lets applicants self-report test scores.

## Configuring your database to collect test scores

In [Application Building Phase I: Core Components](/v1/docs/application-building-checklist#phase-i-core-components), we explain how to [configure your database to collect test scores](/v1/docs/importing-applications-test-scores).

Depending on your process, this might involve:

- Adding test types from the Slate Template Library, or manually in **Database → Tests**
- Adding [test score source formats](/v1/docs/test-scores) from the Source Format Library
- [Creating a custom source format](/v1/docs/creating-a-custom-source-format) to collect test score data

## Configuring the test scores application page

To configure settings on the test scores page:

1. Go to **Database → Application Editor**.
2. Select the application base for which you’d like to make changes.
3. Select **Test Scores.**
4. Select **General Settings.**
5. Configure the following settings:
  - **Custom Title:** Enter a title to override the default, *Test Scores*.
  - **Instructions:** Add instructional text to appear before the test widget.
6. Select **Save.**

## Test settings

The settings for each test type can be configured in **Database → Tests**.

#### Test ID

Enter a code for the test type. Unless the test type has subtypes, this code should be unique. The code should not contain any special characters or spaces.

#### Status

You can inactivate test types that are no longer used without fear of losing data associated with them.

#### Test name

Enter a name for the test type.

#### Subtype

Enter a subtype name for test types with subtypes (For example, SAT Subject Scores)

#### Subtype code

Enter a unique code for the subtype. Like the Test ID, this code should not contain any special characters or spaces.

#### Export value

Enter up to three export values. These values can be used in exports to external systems, including your SIS.

#### Add to checklist

When set to **Yes**, this will automatically add a Score Report checklist item for this test type to the checklist when an applicant has a self-reported score associated with this test type. The checklist item will be automatically fulfilled when the record has a verified test score associated with this test type.

#### Private

This setting lets you **hide test scores** from the applicant:

- If the test type should be viewed administratively only, select **Hide from student**.
- If you want applicants to be able to view scores of this test type on a Slate-hosted application, select **Display** **test score to student**.

#### Help text

Add help text to the test score to display when applicants are adding a test score of this type using a Slate-hosted application.

#### Expires after X days

This setting is optional. When set, test scores will be expired x days after the test date. Expired scores are not ranked, and they will not be included in merge fields, standard filters, or standard exports.

#### Total score name

Enter the name for the score that is associated with the particular component, if one exists. Set this for Total, up to 17 numeric component scores, and one alpha score.

#### Total score mask

If a score exists for the component, enter a score mask. If the score will always be between 0 and 50, the mask should be set to #0. This means that there will always be one digit, and an optional second digit. If the score will always be between 200 and 800, then the mask should be set to 000. The "0" is a required digit, and the "#" is an optional digit.

#### Total percentile

Select if the total or component scores will have percentiles associated with them.
