Placement test questions
How a test runs, what it covers and how the score is built.
Three ways. Choose a connected mailbox and SendCanyon sends it for you. Use your own marketing tool or mail client by copying the address list and putting the Test ID in the subject or body. Or create the test through the API, send from your own system, and read the results back the same way.
