  2. 1 week before test: remind students to bring in pencil, eraser, sharpener.
  3. Email survey@ecu.edu.au to let the Survey team know when you will drop off the test papers. If you require the test results urgently, please book your marking in beforehand.
  4. Marking key: collect a blank MCQ answer sheet from your School Officer or Survey Services (JO – Building 1 – 390) to create a marking key. Write with pencil on the top middle of the sheet: MARKING KEY, Unit Code, Staff Email, Date.
  5. Drop off test papers and marking key to Survey Services. No need to sort in alphabetical order, but please separate into two stacks if two different coded answer sheets have been used - 30009 or 19513.

Guidelines & procedures for academic staff requesting scanning of their students MCQ computer sheets

Important information
  • Do not write anything near the black cornerstones on the top and side of the answer sheet, as the scanner requires these to identify the form.
  • Ensure your marking key and student answer sheets are on the same version of the form (30009 or 19513). These must be on an original MCQ form, as the scanner cannot read photocopies.
  • The scanner will only pickup answers that have been correctly filled out. Answers that are faint or those with just a strike through the circle will not be read by the scanner. Selecting more than one answer to a question will result in the answer being marked incorrect.
  • Please do not send test papers via internal mail. Test papers should be sent through courier, registered mail or delivered personally.
  • Bookings are preferred in order for us to manage our workflow.
  • Test papers delivered without bookings will be processed as a low priority.

On the day of the MCQ test
  • Ask the invigilators to remind students to fill in their identification details correctly. Special Code box can be left blank, all other boxes need to be filled out.
  • Ask the invigilators when collecting the MCQ sheets to ensure that all students have correctly filled in their Student ID and full name (written in the boxes as well as filled in the circles).

After the test
  • Collect all material from Student Services. The invigilators will collate and return all exam material to Student Services and separate the MCQ sheets from the rest of the exam script. Have all MCQ sheets sorted and collated one way, i.e. all the same way, facing up (no need to sort in alphabetical order).
  • Drop the MCQ sheets of at Survey Services (JO – Building 1 – 390).
  • Staff will be asked for their cost centre to allocate the charges.

After the scanning and marking process is complete
  • Results are sent electronically in the form of a spread sheet containing student ID, name and score and a suite of frequency analysis reports.
  • All MCQ sheets including the answer key will be ready for collection.
