The instructions below explain how to complete the precoding option process online. If you have not already logged in, select Online Data Management from the "Links" bar on the left of this page.

Do you plan to submit a precoding file for this administration? The options are “Yes” or “No.”

Please read the description of each option before indicating your choice, since some details may be critical to making the best selection for your district.

Selecting “No”: PEIMS-based precoding
If you select “No,” Pearson will use data from the PEIMS information submitted to the Texas Education Agency by your district as of October 26, 2007. The student information on the precoded answer document will be identical to the PEIMS information that was submitted by your district. A student who enrolls in your district AFTER October 26, 2007, WILL NOT receive a precoded answer document. Pearson will supply a number of blank answer documents for these students. If necessary, you may order additional blank answer documents (select Online Data Management in the Links bar on the top-left of this page) when the additional order form is placed online. Order Braille materials on the forms page when the Braille order form is placed online.

Selecting “Yes”: District-supplied precoding
If you select “Yes,” answer documents for students will be precoded based on a district-supplied data file. Districts that choose to supply a data file will be provided with detailed instructions for preparing the precoding data file. Do not upload a data file at this time. If you select “Yes,” you will upload your data file during the precoding period scheduled for TELPAS. (See the online calendar.)
