Import of Tests Under Documented and Inconsistent

When we import tests scores, we do not have any guidance via "View File Layout Help". All we have is the ability to generate a sample file, which has about a hundred columns.

How many of these are required?

What if I put both student_id and user_id in there?

How does it do matching in order to update existing tests?

None of this is documented and things get dangerous playing this guessing game when importing many records.

    Also, the fact that this import "does what it can" and spits out a file of failed imports is inconsistent with all other import types.

    Why is it like this?
