Selected
extraneous scores/ scores from unrelated disciplines
Not an expert in this field, but in some contexts that wording may simply suggest that test scores were not useable/ reliable because they were based on a methodology from a different discipline rather than saying the methodology used was faulty per se.

Comment: "To be honest, I do not know who's right here--you or Ellen. I was debating these two options before I posted. I went with your answer, though....shrugshrug, it's hard to decide when two DE native speakers offer different answers. But thanks, much appreciated."

theoretical
Given the context, this might provide an elegant solution to the phrase. Of course, the author might have originally just written "theoretisch"...but since s/he didn't...
If taken in conjunction with "spekulative" in the next clause, "theoretical" makes for a nice parallel structure between "theoretical" and "speculative", which are of course fully in line with the argument of the sentence: theoretical/speculative vs. factual/actual.
If you want to even go to the deeper etymological meaning of "praxisfremd" as meaning something "foreign/alien/outside to/of praxis/practice", it itself is a contextual syntactical synonym of "theoretical".
Best,
