Forms:

The Exam Scoring Services only accepts specific Scranton forms for scanning.  Below are linked examples of each form:

Scoring Keys:

You must provide a scoring key with your exams. A scoring key is the answer sheet containing the correct answers. There can only be one scoring key per batch. If you wish to use the same scoring key for more than one batch, write "use key to score all batches" in the "Special Requests" field of the Exam Scoring Request form.
