5 Click Start Scanning to activate the scanning session.
NOTE
Verify that the scanner is connected properly before you try to scan the forms. If you have
trouble with the scanner, view the Troubleshooting section of this help file. If you are still
having problems, contact the scanner manufacturer for support.
6 Scan the forms.
If the student ID on the form does not match an ID in your class roster, the program allows you to select the student
from your roster.
7 Click Finish to accept the scores and return to the gradebook.

You may include up to 100 objective questions on a test. If you have more that 100 questions, divide the test into
two parts and create separate assignments.
l
Place the objective questions at the beginning of the test and number the questions consecutively (e.g., multiple
choice 1-25, true/false 26-40, etc.).
l
If you have problem with a form, you can make corrections and then re-scan it. If necessary, you can manually
enter the points earned.
l
You can include matching questions on a scanned test, but you are limited to the number of choices available on
the selected bubble form. Check the form that you intend to use to be sure that the number of answer choices
matches your test questions. Or, you can include matching questions with more choices and score them
manually.
l
The software allows you to get results for an assignment from multiple sources. For example, you could
administer a paper test to part of the class and an online test to homebound students.
l
You can scan forms in multiple sessions.
l
If there are problems with a student’s form—such as missing responses, multiple responses, answer out of
range (e.g., entering an E if only A-D valid)—an asterisk ( * ) appears next to that student’s name. Click Stop
Scanning, highlight the student name, and click Edit. You can change the response for any item. Click Start
Scanning to continue.
Getting Results from a Plain-Paper Scanner (PC Only)
Plain-paper scanning allows you to print bubble forms using an ordinary laser printer, pre-print assignment and student
information on the forms, and scan the results using a TWAIN-compliant image scanner. Because forms can be printed on-
demand on standard sheets of paper, plain-paper scanning provides great flexibility, convenience, and cost savings over
dedicated OMR scanning. Additionally, the hardware required for plain-paper scanning can be used for other purposes.
Plain-paper scanning reads the students’ responses for each question, stores this information for each student, and
automatically calculates their score based on the point values assigned to the questions.
Properly installed image scanners that are TWAIN compliant will automatically populate the list of available scanners in the
Get Results from Scanner dialog. Some scanners will appear in the list because their TWAIN drivers have been installed on
the computer, even if the hardware is no longer connected.
