Grade Manually

Manual grading uses the answer key PDF to score each applicant’s answer sheet by hand.

Prerequisites

• Completed answer sheets from a paper exam session
• The answer key PDF downloaded when you generated the exams

Steps

1. Print the answer key or open it on a device.

2. For each applicant’s answer sheet:

   • Match the exam number on the answer sheet to the same exam number in the answer key.
   • Compare each answer on the sheet to the key and count the correct answers.
   • Record the score.

3. Determine pass or fail using the passing thresholds:

   Element	Questions	Required to pass
   Technician (Element 2)	35	26
   General (Element 3)	35	26
   Amateur Extra (Element 4)	50	37
