What Happens Next Guidelines for Answer Sheets:
- Name, Albany ID and Version # (if more than 1 version) MUST be bubbled in on EVERY answer sheet
- Use Number 2 pencil, black ink or blue ink
- All bubbles must be completely filled in and dark; partially completed or too light entries will result in no credit for the question.
After giving the exam, drop off the following at the service counter:
- A completed "Test Scoring Services Request Form"
- A completed master key for each version (maximum of 4) of the exam. The version number should be bubbled in on the back of the key, even if there is only one version.
- The exam sheets. All answer sheets must be facing in the same direction.
Test Scoring Services will notify you when the exam is ready for pick-up. Only those persons who have been listed on the Request form may pick up the exam. A PICTURE ID IS REQUIRED.
How it Works
- Exam answer sheets are scanned using an Optical Mark Reader (Scanmark ES2800) and ParSore software from Scantron Corporation.
- Requested reports are printed and/or emailed to the Instructor.
- Scoring turnaround time is usually 48 hours or less.
Test Scoring Staff will make every effort to ensure accuracy of results, however it is the instructor's responsibility to review all results.
