Throughout the school year, counselors receive many test reports for students from different testing organisations (College Board, ACT, etc.) With Upload, counselors will be able to bulk Import Test Scores into Cialfo easily.

Here's a step by step guide along with a video of how to do this on Cialfo:

Where can I find the Upload feature?

On the top right-hand corner, click on your Profile Picture and a drop-down menu should appear. Under Account, select Bulk Upload.
​

Upon landing on the Upload page, select Import test scores.
​

a. Click the upload box, then browse and select the file you want to upload OR
b. Drag the file that you want to upload from its folder and drop it into the upload box

First, determine which row of data in your file contains the column headers. Next, looking at the data fields that are available on Cialfo, match the columns of data you have in your file to them. For ease of future uploads, your method of matching will also be saved and automatically applied on the next upload :)

Note: All required fields are marked with an asterisk (*). For optional fields, there is an option to Ignore this column and no data will be imported under that data field.
​
​Mandatory Fields for uploading ACT Score-

1.Student Identifier* (Recommended to use student email address, if not available you may use student first name and last name)
2.Test Date*
3.Math section score* (Range-1 to 36)

4.Science section score* (Range-1 to 36)

5.English section score* (Range-1 to 36)

6.Reading section score* (Range-1 to 36)

7.Composite Score* (Range-1 to 36)

​Optional fields-

1.Date of Birth

2.Registration ID

3.Writing Score (Range-2 to 12)

After processing your data, the magical wizard will then tell you exactly which row of data in your file contains errors and also what the errors are specifically. With this information, you can then do the necessary corrections.
​

On the next tab New, you will be able to see exactly what data will be imported by the uploader and also confirm the test scores and test dates you are about to import.

Intelligently enough, Upload 2.0 is also able to detect whether test scores already exist within Cialfo, based on the test dates that are entered. When this is the case, you have the option of deciding whether to update the scores for the test that has been taken on the same date.
​
​Note: Turning on update will override/replace any existing data

Last but not least, click Finish Import and voila - all done!

Watch your upload status turn green, and just in case you ever need to refer back to it, you can always check the details of it on the Upload Log page.
​

That's the end of Act Score Upload (Tests)! Happy uploading!
