Remark Test Grading Edition Overview
With a long history of providing easy to use products that save educators money and time, Gravic,
Inc. presents our Remark Test Grading Edition. Designed with the busy educator in mind, this
easy-to-use product quickly grades tests using built-in answer sheets that you can print on plain
paper. The answer sheets are customized to include student, class, test and instructor information.
An instructor can bubble-in an answer key or can specify correct answers, test points, learning
objectives and more using our on-screen tool. The completed test forms are scanned with an image
scanner or MFP (multi-function printer - networked printer/scanner/copier). You can even set up a
hot folder that the software can automatically watch for image files scanned by your MFP. Remark
Test Grading Edition includes a variety of powerful test reports for student, class, and item
performance on the test. Data can be sent to a gradebook, student, or learning management
system of your choice. Remark Test Grading Edition is built from the market-leading Remark Office
OMR technology for the utmost in accuracy, but has been streamlined for test grading purposes.

Scanners/Peripheral Options Directly Supported
Remark Test Grading Edition is compatible with most scanners and multi-function printers
(scanner/copier/printer) on the market today. Specifically, the software works with scanners that
support the TWAIN scanning protocol or any scanner that can create TIFF or PDF images of the
forms.
Using Remark Test Grading Edition
Just follow the simple steps on-screen and let the software walk you through the process of adding
an instructor, adding classes, selecting tests, printing answer sheets, processing tests, reviewing
test results and running reports. The simple wizard-like interface is designed to reduce the learning
curve. You can see the seven steps (several are optional) in the product navigation bar below. These
steps are only accessible once the previous steps are completed, assuring that users are working on
the appropriate steps of the test grading process.
Easily Navigate Through the Steps of the Test Grading Process.
Step 1: Choosing a Class
You can create a new class or select an existing one from the drop-down list. You
can manually type your students or import your roster from a text, spreadsheet or
database file. You can also modify, deactivate and delete students and classes.

Step 2: Choose Test
The second step is to choose pre-defined test answer sheets to go with the tests
you wish to process. Answer sheets included with the software range from 30-200
questions, and have varying answer choices, such as A-D, A-E, 1-4, etc. You can
also include a subjective score if your test includes non-multiple choice questions, such as short
answer or essay questions.

Step 3: Print Tests
The third step is to print the test answer sheets (bubble sheets). Each test answer
sheet contains student, class, instructor and test information so that you can
easily distribute the tests and identify which students have taken the test. The
bubble sheets can be printed on a laser printer or multi-function printer (printer/copier/scanner)
using plain copy paper, saving you the cost of purchasing test answer sheets. You can even print an
answer key to bubble in the correct answers for the test.

Step 4: Answer Key Options (Optional)
The fourth step is defining an answer key, which is optional. You can scan the
answer key along with the student tests, in which case you can skip this step. Or
you can manually enter the answer key. There are also advanced options that
allow you to change question points, add multiple correct responses, treat questions as extra credit
and define learning objectives (questions that are aligned to specific learning goals).
Create Answer
Key
Note: You can fill in a
paper answer key and
scan it or click the
answers on-screen to
create your answer key
Step 5: Process Tests
The fifth step is processing your answer sheets. You can scan your completed
answer sheets and answer key with an image scanner through its TWAIN driver or
you can read image files (TIFF, PDF, etc.) created by your MFP.
In addition to scanning and reading from image files you can use a hot folder whereby the
software monitors the folder and automatically processes or alerts you when appropriate test answer
sheet image files are located. This is a great way to use the product with your networked MFP.

is expected or blank responses. You can see the scanned image of each student’s
filled-in bubble sheet to help you select the appropriate answers based on the student’s
intentions.

question by question basis, including distractor and class score information. This

additional responses to be considered correct without rescanning test forms.
