Scantrons are scannable answer sheets used for testing purposes. They provide up to five multiple choice options (A-E) for each question, with a maximum of 100 questions per sheet. Since the answer sheets are processed electronically using Optical Mark Recognition (OMR), they can be marked quickly and provide meaningful statistics regarding grade distribution.
How We Can Help
We offer simple scanning services using the Apperson Datalink 3000. Tests must be completed on the Apperson forms we provide and tests MUST be completed in pencil. Then, return the completed forms to our office for scanning. Once scanning is complete, we will provide you with an EXCEL file of the results and return the completed forms.
Getting Scantron Cards
We provide free Scantron cards to all Applied Science instructors!
We can also provide boxes of golf pencils, but it is usually easier to just remind students to bring pencils.
You can come by our office in CEME 1214 Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm (minus lunch from 12:00-1:00 PM) to pick up a bundle of forms.
