[QTI] Some doubts about results reporting

[Luis Javier Peris]

Hello everybody,

I'd like to solve some doubts about results reporting:

what does outcomeVariable element and its attribute masteryValue represent??

I'd like to comprehend the report example:

    <testResult identifier="SAMPLE" datestamp="2005-12-02T15:19:20">
        <responseVariable identifier="duration" cardinality="single"
baseType="duration">
            <candidateResponse>
                <value>300</value>
            </candidateResponse>
        </responseVariable>
        <responseVariable identifier="S01.duration" cardinality="single"
baseType="duration">
            <candidateResponse>
                <value>10</value>
            </candidateResponse>
        </responseVariable>
        <outcomeVariable identifier="SCORE" masteryValue="56"
cardinality="single"
            baseType="integer">
            <value>100</value>
        </outcomeVariable>
    </testResult>

This means the test lasts 300 seconds and the section 1 (S01.) lasts 10
seconds??
What does means the outcomeVariable element with value 100 and its attribute
masteryValue=56??

<itemResult identifier="Q01" sequenceIndex="1"
datestamp="2005-12-02T15:19:20"
        sessionStatus="final">
        <responseVariable identifier="numAttempts" cardinality="single"
baseType="integer">
            <candidateResponse>
                <value>1</value>
            </candidateResponse>
        </responseVariable>
        <responseVariable identifier="RESPONSE" cardinality="single"
baseType="identifier"
            choiceSequence="D B C A">
            <correctResponse>
                <value>A</value>
            </correctResponse>
            <candidateResponse>
                <value>A</value>
            </candidateResponse>
        </responseVariable>
        <outcomeVariable identifier="completionStatus" cardinality="single"
baseType="identifier">
            <value>unknown</value>
        </outcomeVariable>
        <outcomeVariable identifier="SCORE" cardinality="single"
baseType="integer">
            <value>100</value>
        </outcomeVariable>
 </itemResult>

Why are there two candidateResponse? I suppose it's a complex question,
isn't it??
Again, what does mean the outcomeVariable element?? Why are there two
outcomeVariable elements?
Then, In the example appears again the same itemResult... what does it mean?
Is it a second candidate's attempt??

Greetings.
