Upload TABE Test Scores

Updated 4/21/25

This article describes how to upload TABE online tests onto SiD student records.

Note: staff must have an Admin level SiD login to upload test scores.

Follow these important steps.

1. Prepare and download the TABE extract file from drcedirect.com.
2. Upload the TABE scores into SiD.
3. Review and confirm the imported results.

Step one: Prepare and download the TABE extract file

1. Log in to drcedirect.com. On the DRC Insight screen, click the My Applications link. From the Scoring and Reporting section, click Report Delivery.
   
2. From the Report Delivery screen, select the On-Demand Extract button.
   
3. From the On-Demand Extract screen, search for and select the name of your site.
   
4. Select a date range for the extract. Click the Create Extract button.
   
5. Click the Download button. The csv (comma separated values) file will be saved to your Downloads folder.
   

Step two: Upload the TABE scores into SiD

1. Log in to SiD. Click the Admin tab, then the Data Uploads link. On the next screen, choose Upload TABE Test Scores.
2. From the TABE csv File Upload page, click the Choose File button. Then locate the csv file you downloaded.
3. Carefully read and follow the 5 onscreen statements.
4. Click the Import TABE button. Heed the red type warnings to click the button only once!
   
   

Step three: Review and confirm the import results.

The imported test results will temporarily appear on the upload screen. When you navigate away from this screen, the import results will disappear. You will not be able to use the browser back button to see them again. Make a pdf for your reference so you can see if there were any problems with test entry onto the SiD student record.

1. Click the Generate PDF button.
2. Look for any tests that were rejected. They will appear in red type. (See screenshot below.)
3. Review the two names on each row to make sure they match.
   
   • The first name is the Student Name on the TABE online test row.
   • The second name, in parentheses, is the name of the SiD student that matches the badge ID given in the csv file. 
4. Spot check a few Students>Assessments screens. Make sure the test was entered correctly.
   
   

If errors are found in the results, make corrections to the csv file. Then re-upload the scores to SiD.

If tests were uploaded to the wrong student, immediately delete the incorrect test from the SiD record.
