Realize the advantages of reducing exam grading time with FormReturn OMR software, to automatically mark all your returned multiple - choice bubble sheet, test and assessment forms. Work that
could usually take days can be completed in a few short hours, with enhanced accuracy.
Multiple-choice, bubble sheet OMR forms can be created using the FormReturn template editors and automatically graded, using your computer, printer and scanner, removing the need for a costly or complicated setup. The scanned form images are uploaded into the software where they are processed and the captured data stored, ready for export to a spreadsheet.
Use FormReturn's template editors to design your own custom bubble sheet OMR forms or download one of our bubble sheet questionnaires or bubble sheet / answer sheet templates already designed with FormReturn, to automatically capture response data from your next class assessment.

Convert the responses from a stack of returned bubble sheet questionnaire forms, into a spreadsheet of organized captured responses almost instantly.
FormReturn can reconcile captured response data from returned forms with the records from your data table and transfer them together onto a spreadsheet:
In a class situation, each student will have a record in the data table, containing their first name, last name, student ID and so on. When a bubble sheet questionnaire is published for the class, the data table which contains the records for the class is selected. When the forms are returned they are scanned into your computer and uploaded into FormReturn for processing. The captured response data is reconciled with the student's records using the Form ID Barcode which is added to every form page that was published. The captured response data is then easily exported to a spreadsheet.
Some great Features of the FormReturn OMR software:
- Customized, multiple-choice assessment forms can be designed using almost any layout you want, with as many checkboxes as you need and as many pages per form as you need. Forms are printed from a published form template which can link to your data table of student records.
- Easily see if all forms have been returned. When the scanned form images are uploaded into the software and processed, you can see straight away which ones haven't been processed from the list of the published forms stored in Captured data.
- Import question text from your existing assessment forms into a FormReturn form template. This is done via a CSV file.
- Add graphic designs using the form editor's tools (great for geometry diagrams) and insert images to create a truly customised form design.
- Segments containing the questions and mark areas are designed separately and added to the form template. One or more segments can be added in which ever order you choose, or choose to have them randomly placed throughout the publication (eg: every form can contain the same banks of questions, but they will be ordered differently on each form).
- A Form ID Barcode is easily added to each form template page and used during form processing for identifying the form template and linking the captured data to the student records in the data table.
- The form template is published, assigning it to a data table containing the student's records.
- Print unique forms for distribution to each student using the
optional feature called Template Variable Replacement (similar to mail
merge)
- When you want to have pre-printed, anonymous forms on hand, but still want the form to correspond to a record in your data table, an ID Grid can be added to the form for identification of the respondents. The ID numbers correspond to a record in your data table and are used to store the captured response data against the records.
- A barcode area can be added to the form design, and used to affix barcode labels of your own choosing for form identification and reconciling the captured response data with records in your data table. This is a handy feature if this is the type of system you already have in place.
Advantages of using Assessment Software for Multiple-choice Examinations, Tests and Surveys
- Multiple-choice questionnaires can cover a wide variety of subjects in a small amount of time, so are a popular way of testing student's capabilities.
- Test more often to keep on top of student's weaknesses.
- When a student gets the easy questions correct but misses the difficult ones or another student misses easy questions but gets difficult ones correct, composite test scores can be misleading when measuring ability. A feature of FormReturn is mark aggregation. A higher mark for the correct answer can be assigned to the corresponding checkbox.
