Test Scoring / Surveys

Beginning in Fall 2010 Faculty Services will no longer use Scantron to score tests and surveys. Our new Test Scoring system offers a Messiah College branded form and is a more economical and efficient process.

NOTE: It is imperative that the student complete their 8-digit ID# and the corresponding bubbles. This really speeds processing time.

Test Scoring Process

• Order the forms from College Press (you can do this when you order copies of your test)
• Fill out the work requisition
• Create a test placeholder and key for your test online-no paper copy is needed!
• Deliver completed student forms and work requisition to Faculty Services in Hoffman.
  (Use after hours drop box if necessary)
• Wait for email confirmation that your reports are ready to download.

Why are we so excited?

• Forms are produced in house so they are much less expensive
• Students like the Messiah branding
• Results are received quickly-often the same day
• Save paper! Only print the reports you need-you can always refer to them later
• After you review test results you can email students their results with only one click
• You can make adjustments to your key and reports are instantly updated without rescanning

• Is the information in the reports the same? YES!
