and test case. To do this the following two point formula is used to
generate a Social Security Number (SSN) for the school test data.
First Point: Five digits from the school’s OPE ID (positions 2 through 6)
are used as the first five numbers of each SSN. For example, if a school
OPE ID is 07777800 and the test data defines an SSN of

incorrectly by COD for testing
purposes.
Second Point: The last digit of each student and borrower SSN indicates
which Test Case that individual belongs to during Structured Testing. So
going by the example above, Student 777-78-0001 belongs to Test Case
1.
Furthermore, other than the SSN, the data (Name, Date of Birth,
Address. etc) for each Student within each Test Case is the same. The
