What software/technique can I use to grade multiple choice exams with a scanner?

Question

I mean a normal office/home scanner. Please explain

Answer 1

This doesn't use a scanner, but its a good way to grade scantrons.  First of all...if its multiple choice and you use a scantron this will help.

Make a scantron that is the answer key (has all the right answers bubbled in)

Then cut out holes where the right answers are.  If number 1 is 'B' then cut out the circle for 'B'.  This is done easiest by folding the scantron in the middle of the 'B' circle and then use a hole puncher.

Do this for the entire scantron.  Take a student's scantron and put the key that you made over the student's answers.  Wherever you see their mark, you know the answer is right.  But if there is a cirlce you cut out that is blank, then you know they filled in the wrong answer.

Hope that helps and makes since!
