Test Scoring

There are two Scantron services available for exam scoring at the CETL (1350 Surge III): walk-in service and computer-based test analysis.

Walk-in service

Note: Walk-in service is not the same as the computer-based service (see below).
Hours are 10:30 am – 12 noon and 1 – 5 pm.

  • Bring a ScanTron key already made out.
  • Optional: You can choose to have the keyed answer printed on each student’s form when the student misses a question.

Computer-based test analysis

Hours are 1 – 5 pm.

  1. Appointments are required. Email testscore@ucdavis.edu or Barbara Mills at bjmills@ucdavis.edu
  2. Students must:
    • use the form UCD2000 (available at the CAMPUS BOOKSTORE and the VENDING MACHINE in Olson Hall);
    • bubble in their student number in the space provided; and
    • bubble in the version (A, B, C, or D). If there is only one version of the test, students must bubble in Test Form A.
  3. Bring a key (along with the exams) on a UCD2000 form (same as exam).
  4. Output:
    • Scores and student ID numbers in electronic format with instructions for uploading into Excel, Smartsite, MyUCDavis Gradebook;
    • Difficulty and discrimination index showing item difficulty and discrimination between students who performed well and those who did not;
    • Class response form showing each student’s answer for each question (print and/or electronic).
  5. Options:
    • Weight the questions differently;
    • Remove questions from an exam;
    • Process multiple versions of an exam.
