Reviewing Data

To enter missing or change incorrect information, double click on the cell, now you can view this information in the Image Viewer frame below and type in the correct value. (note that in the sample shown, the student filled in two bubbles, which resulted in a MULT error). |

Click on “Questions1” then click and drag (1) the mouse along the top to the last question of the exam (Note: It is acceptable to have “Blank” values to the right of the last question. The system reads all questions, regardless of how long the exam is; it reads the remaining questions as blank, thus meaning you don’t need to worry about them). |
