Adding Test Layouts to CTL via Import Test Results Page
Overview
All tests that will be used in Aeries Analytics must be set up in the Testing Control Table first.
The Testing Control Table page is located under School Info > Configurations in the navigation. This page consists of two tabs, the Testing Control Table (CTL) tab and the Content Standards (CSN) tab. The Testing Control (CTL) tab contains test identification information, such as Test-ID, Test Part, and Test Part Title, for all tests that are stored in the Test (TST) table. The Content Standards (CSN) tab contains the test identification information for the tests that are stored in the Content Standards (CST) table.
NOTE: Districtwide Test ID’s and Parts must be established for all tests including local benchmark tests. Failure to develop a uniform system may cause confusion in the results of students that transfer from school to school.

Adding Test Layouts to CTL via Import Test Results Page ↑
Many standardized tests being imported using the Import Test Results page in Aeries will also add or update the test parts to the CTL and CSN tables when selecting the file layout. Please see the Import Test Results documentation for the specific test to find out more about this.
From the Import Test Results page, select the new test in the drop-down. For example, selecting STAAR 3-8 Test Results - SY:2022/23 - 2023/24 test/layout from the Import Scores Option dropdown will automatically add the STR38 Test-ID, Part and Test Part Title to the Testing Control Table (CTL) and Content Standards (CSN) for all related tests including the Spanish test.
The Testing Control Table will now display the Test-ID, Part and Test Part Title for all related tests for the selected test/layout.
Add a Test Definition ↑
The Testing Control Table page will display all tests that have been previously set up. Notice in the example below, SBAC, SBIAB and SBICA each have a Part number of 0. Part 0 is used to identify the main category when a test has several parts.
To add a new test or test parts click on the Add New Record icon and the cursor will display after the last record. If the Test-ID was limited it will default in the Test ID field. If a test will have several parts the main category will need to be added with a Part 0.
The Test-ID can be up to 8 characters long. Enter the Test-ID, Part number, Test Part Title and all Test Abbreviations. Click on the Save icon to save the record.
Continue adding records for all of the test parts.
NOTE: To group tests for a specific category you must set up a Test-ID with Part 0
Limit ID Option ↑
A Limit ID dropdown can be used to limit the list to a specific test. For example, selecting the ELPAC test in the Limit ID will limit the tests that are displayed to those with a Test-ID of ELPAC.
