How to Have Your Scantron Tests Scored by Testing Services

******WARNING*******
Our Optical Mark Read Scanner will read #2 pencil only.                                 
Please be certain all STUDENT EXAMS as well as your KEYS are completed in PENCIL ONLY, inside designated blocks only (any stray marks or labeling along the margins will interfere with accurate reading of forms.)                                       

  1. Pick up enough blank scantron forms from Testing Services for your class.
    1. Half Green (one sided, 80 questions, 5 options)
    2. Full Green (two sides, 120 questions, 10 options)
    3. Full Blue (two sides, 200 questions, 5 options)
      Please do not send individual students to pick up single scantrons for your class. 
    4.  
  2. Save one blank scantron of the same format (above) for your key. Complete in pencil with correct answers.  In the spaces for LAST NAME, label as KEY with DEPT , CLASS NAME , TEST NAME.  (ie., PSY 101 F12 Midterm).
     
  3. If multiple versions of the test are given, please include a key for each, labeled in the TEST CODE or SPECIAL CODES  block.  Please have students identify their version in the same block on their answer sheet.

  1. Please be sure to advise students that it is imperative to both  WRITE IN THE LETTERS OF THEIR NAME and  FILL IN THE BUBBLES FOR EACH LETTER  and/or  DO THE SAME FOR student  ID#. Otherwise the exam taker will not be identifiable in your reports.

  1. Print and fill out a Test Coversheet.  Complete all items.
     
  2. Deliver or mail the coversheet and test forms to Testing Services at Bouillon Room 125 or MS 7427 (Campus mail is the less timely method).
     
  3. Reports will be emailed to the address included on the form (can be more than one address).
     
  4. Tests results are nearly always returned within 24 hours (except Fridays).  If you do not see the reports in your email by the close of the next day, please call and check with us @ 963-1868.
     
  5. We have a standard set of six reports that we email out in a standard format as listed on the Test Coversheet.  Other reports/formats are available by special request.
