Guidance for creating the eligible testing roster for ISBE-provided Grade 12 Fall 2020 SAT with Essay. Because Fall 2020 does not use Pre-ID labels or a Pre-ID roster in SIS, staff generate a “demographics” report from ISBE’s Student Information System (SIS) by searching students enrolled on the primary SAT with Essay test date of April 14, 2020. Staff then identify those still enrolled this fall as Grade 12, note possible new Grade 12 additions, and follow step-by-step SIS navigation to produce and export the report.
