[LON-CAPA-users] Adaptive Testing

[Mills, Douglas G]

Thank Ray. The problem I'm having though is that some of the &EXT functions
require both partid AND responseid and as of right now at least, the
responseid is internal to what I've included in the library. I've already
noted that the fact that each library seems to be self-contained in that
things like overlapping variable names or response ids do not seem to
conflict -- the overlapping response ids, for example, do not generate any
error messages and everything seems to function as it should.  That's an
advantage on the one hand, but makes me think it will not be possible to
access any information involving the response id from the umbrella problem
itself...

Adaptive Testing Hi All, 

We touched briefly on the idea of
