How to pivot multiple columns into Matrix..

My data source looks something like this:

StudentIDTest1ScoreTest1AvgTest2ScoreTest2AvgTest3ScoreTest3Avg
1757586808768
2607596806968
3747574807968

 

I can't use Test#Avg as measures for some reasons. 

 

When I choose StudentID=1 in the slicer, I want the matrix to show like this:

 

StudentID = 1   
    
Test #StudentScoreAvgScoreVarianceToAvg
Test175750
Test286806
Test3876819

 

How can I achieve this? Is there a way to do it without creating additional tables?

 

Thank you in advance!

I think the better option is to unpivot data
