www.isbe.net/Documents/SAT-AC-Announcement-2021.pdf
• Staff with access to the secure SIS may now enter Reason for No Valid Test
Attempt (RNVTA) codes for grade 11 students who did not test - this opened in
SIS on Wednesday, April 28, 2021.
• SIS entered RNVTA 50 for all grade 12 records since current grade 12 students
are allowed but not required to be tested.
Note: If you see error code 4 on any grade 12 record with a score, please know
SIS is still working to remove the RNVTA 50. Thank you for your patience.
• If any RNVTA is added to a student record and a score is later matched to that
student record, SIS will automatically remove the RNVTA.
48Accessing Scores in College Board's Portal

49Reviewing Scores/Unassigned/Errors in SIS
• Use this document to help guide your review:
www.isbe.net/Documents/SAT-AC-Announcement-2021.pdf
• Check that all who tested have score data.
• Check the unassigned test results for students who
tested whose scores were unable to be matched.
• Check for error codes in the Assessment Scores
"Details" report. Most will have error code 1, meaning
the student did not test, which must be corrected by
adding the appropriate RNVTA.
• Corrections are due September 3, 2021.
50Check for Scores/Errors in SIS
51Check for Scores/Errors in SIS
52Check for Unassigned Scores in SIS
Notes about unassigned scores (common issues):
• If a grade 12 student tested but was not on the correction report (i.e., was not allowed
to test), the score will remain unassigned.
• If the Testing RCDTS from College Board differs from what is stored in the Assessment
Correction report, edit the Testing RCDTS to match what came from College Board using
the "Assessment/Correction/SAT/PSAT" link. Then, use the "Assessment/Unassigned"
link to attempt to match the score again.
