Paper tests still get graded by hand
A class set of answer sheets is an evening of ticking boxes, adding up scores and typing them into a spreadsheet. Online tests grade themselves, but many classes still sit their tests on paper.
Scan the sheets, confirm the scores
Print a Quizzz exam paper and its answer sheet, then photograph the completed sheets with a phone or upload a scanned PDF. Each page is matched to its student and question, scored, and waits for your confirmation before it counts.
What scanning does
Bubbles read without AI
Filled bubbles on the answer sheet are read by fixed rules and scored by Quizzz's own grader.
Written answers get a suggestion
Short and written answers are transcribed and given a suggested score with a confidence level. A low-confidence read is highlighted for you.
Nothing counts until you confirm
You review every page. Change any score, and the result is recorded only after you confirm that copy.
Photos are not kept
Uploaded images are processed in memory and are not stored by Quizzz.
How to grade by scanning
Print for scanning
Download the exam paper with "print for scanning" on. Every page gets a code, corner marks and a copy number.
Scan the completed sheets
Photograph each page with your phone, or upload a PDF from the copier. Pages are read one at a time.
Review and confirm
Check the highlighted answers, adjust scores, and confirm. Scores land in the class results next to online submissions.
Online grades itself; paper scans with a phone
Sample class: Brightway Learning Center, Grade 8 English, Class B. Twelve students, one 25-question English test. The class and students are fictional.
Who scans their tests
Schools that test on paper
Keep the paper midterm and skip the hand grading and the score spreadsheet.
Cram schools with weekly tests
Scan the stack right after class and see which questions the group missed before the next lesson.
Mixed classes
Some students on paper, some online: both kinds of results end up in the same class view.
Teams that share grading
One person scans, the subject teacher reviews the flagged answers and confirms.
