Scan-tron machines pick up right and wrong answers by picking up on lead #2
pencil marks.
If nothing has been marked, at all in a given space, then your answer will be
marked wrong. However, if there is neither a dark pencil mark nor a blank, the
machine will get confused and simply not mark anything. You're saying "but what
about my score at the end of the test ??" to which point we respond ...
Scan-tron machines assign a variable to the number of possible points and the
number wrong. Then it subtracts the number wrong from the total possible to get
your answer. When it comes to the "altered" mark, it skips it, leaving no red
mark. It then doesn't know the difference between a right answer and a wrong
answer and does nothing to your score.
HOW TO AVOID GETTING RED MARKS
There are two type of fill sheets you can recieve. Ones with circles to shade
in and ones with rectangles.
On the circles, there is only one way to avoid the slash...
IF A CIRCLE IS LIGHTLY SHADED IN, TOO LIGHT FOR THE MACHINE AND TOO DARK FOR THE
TEACHER TO QUESTION, THE MACHINE WILL GET CONFUSED AND SIMPLY LEAVE YOUR ANSWER
BE.
Once again, if there is no mark, the machine does not subtract from the total
possible. The trick is to fill it in lightly enough to confuse it.
For the rectangles, the same method used for the circles will work, along with
this other method...
Draw many diagonal LIGHT lines through the rectangle. Howver, this method is
not recommended since teacher will probably catch on.
Practice!!! On a test you don't really have to worry about, try different
shades.
