Adding individual students to DataManager for CogAT testing

Before testing, you will need to create and add students to your student roster. This article provides more information on the following steps:

Creating student roster

  1. Navigate to Administration > Manage Rostering
  2. Change the date listed to today's date (the default loaded date will always appear one day behind as it works on US time)
  3. Enter a new roster name. We recommend using a format similar to the following:
    SchoolName TestMonth TestYear
  4. Click Add Roster on the right side of the page.

Adding a student to your roster

  1. Navigate to Administration > Manage Students
  2. Click Add Student.
  3. Enter the student’s details.
    • Roster: Ensure the Roster is referencing your newly created roster.
    • Location/Class: You will need to expand the list down to the relevant class applicable to the student and select the radio button (circle check button) on that class.
    • Grade will automatically populate once Location/Class is selected.
    • Each field marked with an asterisk is mandatory. More information about these fields can be read in the table below.
  4. Once fields are filled in, click Save.
