			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past weekend our team upgraded Socrato.com. Key changes included in this release:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ability to configure <em>custom branding</em> for Scoring and Performance Reports</strong>
<ul>
<li style="list-style: none"></li>
<li>Customers can now upload their logo, choose a color scheme, and create their own custom branded reports. This feature will be accessible to customers by request only.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>“Section Reports” (Mini Reports) for ACT and SAT tests</strong>
<ul>
<li style="list-style: none"></li>
<li>We incorporated a number of backend changes in the Scoring and Performance Reporting module. This will allow us to roll out <strong>“Mini Reports”</strong> in near future. Now, if a student practices only a single section of an ACT or SAT test, they can generate a &#8220;mini report&#8221; with the same level of detail and insight as our full report; we even provide a projected scaled score.
<ul>
<li style="list-style: none"></li>
<li>For example, an ACT test student can practice only the science section, and will be able to generate detailed scoring and performance analysis report for just that section. <em>Stay tuned for more details on this in a future post, or contact us if you&#8217;d like to be an early adopter.</em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Coming Soon: Additional tests for SAT and ACT</strong>
<ul>
<li style="list-style: none"></li>
<li>Soon we will be announcing support for released/retired ACT and SAT published tests (not in the books), as well as support for custom tests. Due to many customer requests, we&#8217;re attempting to support as many of the released SAT and ACT tests as we can. Let us know if you&#8217;re interested in being notified when these get released, or if there are specific test versions you&#8217;re seeking.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p>As always we have tested as much as possible, but there is always a possibility that you may encounter issues. If you see something that needs our attention please reach out to us.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello All,</p>
<p>Not a huge release, number of minor fixes and enhancements in SAT/ACT custom diagnostic reports area.</p>
<ul>
<li>An issue related to the recalculation of the scores for SAT, ACT, and SAT/ACT comparison reports has been resolved. After uploading the session in bulk mode&#8230;  if the user edits the session again online, the updated session was not scored correctly. The issue was introduced recently due to fixes to one of the custom reports.</li>
<li>In order to do the billing we track the number of student sessions and the report generation activity. Many times due to user data entry error, or for other reasons, tutors needed to completely delete the session and reload data which recreated the new student session. Now the deleting of the session is tracked, so there is fully reconcilable audit trail of usage and billing.</li>
<li>A few weeks back we discovered that during heavy load, the report usage activity was not getting tracked properly. No information was lost, but we needed to calculate the usage at the end of month, rather in real time. We have fixed the issue.</li>
<li>Modified the ACT/SAT comparison test diagnostic report (this is applicable to custom tests) which now does the correlation of two scores (the SAT and ACT) and also makes the recommendation about what test to take.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please let us know if you run into any issues or have any questions.</p>
