Placement tests
:: services/plctests module

This is a BETA module. We're looking for beta-testers. Until we find them, there's a substantial probability it won't stay backwards-compatible! If you are planning on using this module, please let us know. Then, we will work with you and move it out of beta as soon as we can.

Retrieving information and results in placement tests (e.g. for foreign language courses).

It's also possible (with administrative consumer key) to update test's results.

Methods

test BETA Get information on given placement test
test_result BETA Get placement test's result
tests_index BETA Get IDs of all placement tests
update_result BETA Update test result (administrative)
update_results BETA Update test result (administrative)
user BETA User's results

Get information on given placement test
id required ID of placement test
fields optional

Default value: id|name

Selector of result fields you are interested in. The selector may contain any subset of fields, which are described in the returns section.

format optional

Default value: json

Format in which to return values. See supported output formats.

  • name - LangDict object with the test's name.

Thrown errors:

  • object_not_found - some of the referenced objects do not exist.

    Possible reasons:

Update result of placement test for given user to 'new_value'.

If you want to avoid concurrency problems (if two or more users are modifying same results), you may specify "old_value" parameter. Result will be updated only if given value match with currently value in database.

test_id required ID of placement test
user_id required ID of user whose grade will be updated
new_value required Number of points, that you want to set
old_value optional

Default value: (If parameter is unused, no check will be made)

Number of points, that you expect that is current set. If you expect that result wasn't entered yet, set this parameter to null.
format optional

Default value: json

Format in which to return values. See supported output formats.
callback optional

Required only if you've chosen jsonp as a return format.
Plus required standard OAuth Consumer signing arguments: oauth_consumer_key, oauth_nonce, oauth_timestamp, oauth_signature, oauth_signature_method, oauth_version. Token is not required.

Returned value:

An empty dictionary returned if the method has been executed successfully. Some keys may be added in the future.

Thrown errors:

  • object_invalid - object is in invalid state.

    Possible reasons:

    • test_modified - test result probably was updated concurrently.

  • object_not_found - some of the referenced objects do not exist; param_name is equal to id.
