Once students take your test, you can scan the test answer sheets. Scanning occurs outside of the Remark Test Grading Cloud Edition application. There are two common ways to scan test forms:
Using a Multi-Function Printer (MFP): An MFP prints, copies and scans. You can use the scanning function to scan the test forms and then save them, preferably on your network. You can also email yourself the images. The latter is good if you want to upload the test images at a later point in time, say from home.
Using an Image Scanner: You can use a common image scanner to scan the forms and then store them on your network.
Regardless of which method you use, we recommend scanning at a resolution of 200 - 300 DPI and saving to the TIFF format. The application reads PDF files, but note that they are not native image files and require more processing time. Once the images are scanned and stored somewhere you can access (e.g., a network drive, USB drive, online storage), you can upload them to Remark Test Grading Cloud Edition. The images can be uploaded anytime from anywhere, including Google Drive accounts. We recommend filling out an answer sheet for the answer key and scanning it with the students' tests for easy grading. Otherwise, you can manually enter an answer key.
To upload scanned test form images
From the My Classes screen click the desired class.
From the test list, click the desired test.
From the Options on the left, click Process Tests.
From the Options on the left, click Browse Images to select images stored on your computer or network. Click Google Drive to select images from your Google Drive account (you must have the Google Drive module enabled).
If using Google Drive, you may be prompted to log in to your Google account.
In the Open window, select the completed test answer sheets that you scanned and saved. Note that you can select more than one file at a time by holding down the CTRL key as you click files.
Click the Open button.
Once you have the files you need selected, in the Options to the left, click Process Images.
The tests are processed. You may continue working if desired and will be prompted when the tests are finished processing. Once the tests are processed, you are taken to the Test window where your students and their scores are displayed. If any forms cannot be recognized, there is a notification under Flagged Images in the left menu. You can now review exceptions, review flagged images or run reports.
