How to generate a scored dataset

When you generate selected reports, you have the option to purchase a scored dataset along with your report. Scored datasets take all of the raw and scored data from the assessments and presents the data in the form of an Excel spreadsheet.

Note: Scored Datasets are not available for all assessments.

The norm options that you selected for the report will also apply to the scored dataset.

To view a scored dataset

After you have generated a scored dataset, it can be viewed on the My Scored Datasets page. However, this option is only available for five days after the dataset has first been generated. If you want to see the dataset after that time, you will need to regenerate it.

  1. Click the My Scored Datasets tab. (Note: Scored datasets are only available under the My Scored Datasets tab. The My Reports tab is reserved for reports that have been generated.)

    The My Scored Datasets page appears.

  2. Click the Download Dataset link beside the dataset you want to view.

    The dataset is downloaded to your computer.

Note: If the Download Dataset link does not automatically appear in the list after you have completed the dataset generation process, click Refresh, or set the Auto Refresh drop-down to ON.

To regenerate a scored dataset

  1. Click the My Scored Datasets tab.

    The My Scored Datasets page appears.

  2. Select the check box to the left of the scored datasets you want to regenerate.
  3. Click Regenerate.

    A new Download Dataset link appears to the right of the regenerated scored datasets.

Note: If the Download Dataset link does not automatically appear after you have completed the regeneration process, click Refresh, or set the Auto Refresh drop-down to ON.

To zip a scored dataset

  1. Click the My Scored Datasets tab.

    The Scored Datasets page appears.

  2. Select the checkbox to the left of the scored datasets you want to download.

    Note that only scored datasets with a status of Completed can be included in a zipped folder. If any scored datasets are listed as Archived, they must first be regenerated before they can be zipped.

    The Zip File Name window appears.

  4. Type a name for the zipped file in the Zip File Name text box.

  6. Click the Zip File link you want to view.

    The zipped file is saved to your computer.

The zipped file you created will be removed from the My Scored Datasets table after 5 days. However, the scored datasets that were included in the zipped file will remain on the page as originally listed.
The Scored Dataset is presented as an Excel spreadsheet. The information can be viewed by clicking the three tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet window.
  • The Legend tab contains a list of the scales and subscales, and the abbreviations used to identify them.
  • The Item Responses tab contains participant information, administration details, and the response for every item in the assessment.
  • The Scores tab contains participant scores, corresponding confidence intervals, and response distribution.
For further information on understanding the scored dataset, please consult the User’s Handbook for the assessment.
