   Academic Test Summary interpretation:

   • Test ID – the type of test reported

   • Description – the component of the reported test

   • Score – the individual's score for the test or component of the test

   • Test Date – the date the test was taken

   • Data Source – the source that provided CSULB the test results

     Note: "SLF" stands for "self-reported" and indicates the results were reported by the student and, therefore, are unofficial until an official testing source validates the test results
