This is the backup of the Prefill URLs for Version 2 (school bus) of the COREPAandHFWCode.
There were too many students for the code to complete during the allotted time, so I broke it up into 4 sub sections (around 113 students at a time). This should help it complete chunks before the time expires.
/*
* Getting a prefilled URL is like sending a bus out to get passengers
* The bus is the formResponse
* The passengers are the formItems (each of which has an ID and type)
* They get on the bus in a particular order
* Once on the bus, it drives to a parking space
* Once many buses arrive, it becomes a parking lot--- this is the testSheet
