I need to extract data into one record per student from a table that stores data in multiple rows. How do I do that? Please help.

DECLARE @Student TABLE
(
StudentNo INT NOT NULL,
TestDate Datetime,
Subject char(10),
Score int
)

INSERT @Student VALUES
(1, ‘20010515’, ‘Read’,’600’),
(1, ‘20010515’, ‘Write,’700’),

I wish it to return a record with -
StudentNo, Testdate, read_score, Write_score
1 20010515 600 700
Where I populate the scores based on the 'Subject' in my table.

I think that you want to use the PIVOT operator. Look it up in BOL and see if that will work for you.

OR

Select StudentNo,TestDate,
MAX(Case When Subject = 'Read' then Score End)Read_Score,
MAX(Case When Subject = 'Write' then Score End)Write_Score
from @Student
Group by StudentNo,TestDate
Order by StudentNo,TestDate

OR this

Select distinct StudentNo,TestDate,
MAX(Case When Subject = 'Read' then Score End) OVER (PARTITION BY StudentNo,TestDate),
MAX(Case When Subject = 'Write' then Score End) OVER (PARTITION BY StudentNo,TestDate)
from @Student
