X12 136 — Educational Testing and Prospect Request and Report

The testing agency (College Board, ETS) transmits to a school a candidate score and profile data (prospect data).

Purpose

US university recruitment pivot: after the SAT/ACT/GRE, the College Board or ETS sends to target universities (selected by the candidate at registration) the scores plus demographic and academic profile. The university ingests this in its admissions CRM to follow up.

Envelope structure

The 136 travels inside the three X12 envelope levels (ISA/IEA, GS/GE with functional group TR, and ST/SE). Didactic example in 004010:

Common segments

  • Header — ST, BSE (Beginning of Educational Test Set).
  • Student — NM1*IL + DMG demographics.
  • School target — NM1*36.
  • Scores — AMT*ND per test section.
  • Prospect profile — REF with HS info, intended major, etc.
  • Summary — SE.

Common pitfalls

  • FERPA: scores and prospect data fall under FERPA. Candidate consent mandatory before sending.
  • Score without test year: stale score — always include the DTM of the test sitting.
  • Wrong target school code: use the FICE or IPEDS code, not a free-text name.

Documentation

The 136 code and the Educational Testing and Prospect Request and Report name are public and listed at x12.org/products/transaction-sets. The full loops/qualifiers/code-lists structure is distributed by DISA via proprietary Implementation Guides (TR3). ediverse.io covers only public concepts, the envelope and didactic examples.
