RE: inserting ID inside exams [ Reply ]

Francisco,

you are right, this is poorly documented. We have an example that shows what needs to be done but this is somewhat hidden on page 10-11 of vignette("exams", package = "exams"). If you want the header information to contain the ID, you need to set this up via

getID <- function(i) gsub(" ", "0", format(i, width = 5))
exams2pdf(..., template = c("exam", "solution"),
header = list(ID = getID, Date = Sys.Date()))

If you have only single-choice and multiple-choice answers, then also look at the exams2nops() function. This automatically takes care of the ID, offers automatic scanning and evaluation, and is also available in Spanish.

Hi,
When I use exams2pdf() the ID is always set to 1, but the names increase the index automathically. May I include this index in the pdf itself: ID001, ID002, ID003,...
Otherwise, once the exams are distributed I don“t know which solution correspond to each exam.
Many thanks in advance,

Thanks to:
