This article explains how to import remark test results.
Importing remark test results
To import results, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
- The test must be manually created.
- The test can only contain single choice, multiple-choice, or true/false question types.
- The test must have an external ID.
- Each user must have an external ID.
- The users must be assigned to the test and have a “Not attempted” status.
Note: If the file contains different test results from a single user in the same test, only the first results will be imported, and the others will be skipped.
It’s necessary to define the following information in the file that will be uploaded.
User ID
User ID represents the external ID of a candidate. If the external ID can’t find the candidate, the system will find the candidate by the systems ID. If the system can’t find the candidate by the systems ID, the candidate will be skipped to import.
Test external ID
If the system can’t find the test by the external ID, the candidate will be skipped to import.
Responses to all questions
Responses to all questions in the test started from c4.
The test results won’t be imported if the user’s external ID or test doesn’t exist in the system. If the answer is, for example, AB, the student chooses the first and the second answer for the question.
