Learning Plans
18. The SAT Score Report is a stand alone feature in Oases. However, should you wish to create a targeted learning plan from the student's areas of weakness you may allocate Common Core or State Standards to each question or objective in one SAT.
19. You may also load your own SAT specific goals into Oases to associate to an SAT test if required.
One Section Tutoring
20. If you are testing a student on just one or more sections but not the entire test, Oases will not produce the report pages for the blank pages to avoid releasing answers to a student for a section you may use in future.
The front page will however, still show the minimum scores for the missed section.
You may delete empty section rows from the student's test grid without damaging the report production.
