Export test results as JSON

  • Updated

Available for Planners.

The result export feature allows a Planner to download all test results in a JSON file format. This file provides a detailed breakdown of candidate activity and scores on every question after the test end time has passed.

This article shows you how to generate and download the export, what information is included in the file, and how to read the data using Notepad++.

This feature requires activation. Please contact the Service Desk to activate it for your Inspera Assessment tenancy.

How to export results

Once a test is complete, it will be possible for the Planner to generate the export from the test overview.

The only requirement for generating the result export is that the test end time is passed. The test does not have to be graded to generate the export.

  1. Once a test is complete, go to Deliver and select the relevant test.
  2. On the top right of the page, click the Export results button. 

  3. the Export resulkts page will appear, click Export results.
  4. The generated export will then be available to download as a .json file. Click Download exported results.

You can generate this export again to include any new information, such as a late submission or an extra chance to submit, simply click Export results again.

Information included in the export

The export contains the following information for each candidate:

  • Start and end time
  • Time spent on each question
  • Answer given on each question
  • Possible scores for each question
  • Automatic scores achieved on questions
  • Manual scores given on questions

Open and read the data using Notepad++

The information in the result of export can be read using Notepad++ (Windows only), however other software may also be used to read the data.

Here is a quick guide on how to make the data easier to read using Notepad++.

  1. Download Notepad++. The newest version is always recommended.
  2. Open Notepad++ and select plugins -> plugins admin... -> Seach for json -> select JSON Viewer and install it.
  3. Export and download the result export from the test and open it with Notepad++.
  4. Open the tab in Notepad++ which contains the data, select plugins -> JSON Viewer -> Format JSON.

Known limitations

  • Inspera does not process the file itself, but it can be processed by other software (such as Excel) or through custom programming to create more manageable data.
  • Some question types are not suitable for this export. Questions like hotspot have limited usability because their output is a coordinate used only by the player to display the answer. The response will still be a part of the export.
