Import of test data

I am also going to be working on that this summer for one of the schools I work with. I have found that the best way to import is to export out a sample then import in the data. The problem I am having is what field's I need to import off of the Standford file. They have a document that directs you to the correct fields for information, but it appears that every question with a score displays. I am in the process of sorting out what field I really need, then I will export a sample with student import numbers and basically cut and pastefrom the Standford file to an import file. Not the most efficient method, but BB does not let you import data into a student record with out the import number.

I guess you could hook up a link in some type of database to look for student social security number to match, but not all of our students have ss#'s in our system.
