# Test Score

The score on a section of a specific test or a composite score.

- **[Sample Uses for Test Score](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.eda_test_score.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Relate a Test Score with a Test to track a prospective student's composite (overall) scores on tests like the SAT or GRE. Alternatively, track section-specific scores to assess student readiness for a post-high school education.
- **[Configure Test Score](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.eda_test_score.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Keep the Test Score object up to date and add custom metadata.
- **[Create a Test Score Record](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.eda_test_score.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Use these steps to create a test score record in Education Data Architecture.

## Sample Uses for Test Score

Relate a Test Score with a Test to track a prospective student's composite (overall) scores on tests like the SAT or GRE. Alternatively, track section-specific scores to assess student readiness for a post-high school education.

For example, consider individually tracking the math, evidence-based reading, and writing scores of the SAT to determine which subjects students need more help preparing for.

## Configure Test Score

Keep the Test Score object up to date and add custom metadata.

### Keep Up with Test Score Updates

Consider these updates, depending on which version of

### Add Custom Metadata to Test Score Records

With Custom Metadata Types, you can create your own setup objects whose records are metadata rather than data. You can add a definition of a test score that includes how the test is graded, the scoring range, and the passing value.

2. In the Quick Find box, search for and select **Custom Metadata Types**.
3. Next to Test Score Definition, click **Manage Records**.
