The session setup steps — starting the session, checking in applicants — are identical to computer exams. The difference begins when it is time to administer the test.
Prerequisites
- Printed exam booklets from Generate and Print
- For GradeCam: printed bubble forms (one per applicant)
- For manual grading: printed answer key
- An open session with applicants checked in
Administer the exam
Hand each applicant a printed exam booklet and, for GradeCam sessions, the matching bubble form. The exam ID on the booklet and bubble form must match.
Instruct the applicant to:
- Write their name on the answer sheet or bubble form
- Mark only one answer per question
- Not mark in the exam booklet
When the applicant finishes, collect the booklet and answer sheet together.
Keep the exam booklet and bubble form together until grading is complete — the exam ID on both must match for accurate grading.
Grade the exams
Choose your grading method:
- Grade with GradeCam → — scan the bubble form with a device camera; ExamTools grades automatically
- Grade manually → — compare the answer sheet to the printed key and record the score
After grading
After results are recorded, the applicant connects to ExamTools with their PIN to sign their forms. The session then continues exactly like a computer exam session:
