The current error handling could be enhanced. Currently, the exam module ignores errors when creating exam users via the exam-master module, as an error is indicated if an exam user account already exists. It would be more helpful to return:
* success with additional information that the exam user account already exists and thus has not been created
* success if the account has been created
* error if any unexpected error happened (as mentioned in the initial comment)
