A child's record must already exist in Data Manager in order for an assessment to be added to that record. Follow the procedure for Adding a Child Record if you need to add the child to the system before proceeding.
To enter scores for a new complete assessment to a child's record:
1. Click Search Child from the Child Administration menu and find the child's record (see Search for instructions).
2. Click the Test button in the row of the child's record.
The Assessments page opens.
3. Click the New Complete Assessment button. The New Complete Assessment page opens. Instructions appear at the top of the page. Fields for recording test data appear at the bottom.

For item-level details, you will enter domain, date, and examiner on this page, and then click the Next button to proceed to a detailed scoring page with individual assessment questions.
Note: If you enter raw scores, you are responsible for the basal and ceiling for each score. Not all reports are available using this method.

Important: Use the same normative set for exit assessment as was used for entry assessment, whenever possible.
6. For the Domain list, click the check boxes to identify the domains that were evaluated during the assessment. Click the All check box to select all of the domains.
