From the Get Results from Scanner dialog, select the OMR scanner from the drop-down list box. The option to Print
correct answers on scanner sheet is only enabled if it is a feature supported by the selected scanner model.

Select the connection port to which the scanner is connected, or click Detect Scanner to automatically set the port.
3
Select the form used from the drop-down list box. The list of available forms will change depending upon the selected
scanner model.

Set the beginning question number and click Next.
TIP
You can use the same forms for several assignments. For example, you can administer and
scan a quiz with 10 questions. For the next quiz, set the beginning question number to 11 and
have your students fill in the bubbles for questions 11-20.
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.

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.

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.
