Test Analysis
The Office of Educational Computing offers a Test Analysis (computerized exam/survey processing and analysis) Service. We are located at the EdCom Administrative Office customer service desk (265 MTF) and can be reached at 858.822.5741.
About the Service
The forms used have space for 240 - 5 possible choice (A-E) questions. These forms cannot be bought at the bookstore. You may pickup the forms at our office or we can mail them to you.
The cost for our service is $.50 per form processed and a $25 per hour labor charge. As an example, a 150 student exam takes roughly 1 hour to process.
We provide printout copies of the results, divided into 5 parts. Refer to the Section Descriptions page for a detailed description of each section.

Please note: We cannot calculate extra credit questions with our Test Analysis program. Also, we cannot process a question that has a correct answer requiring two choices to be bubbled in (i.e. question #4 is both A and D). However, the program can allow for alternate answers during exam processing.
Before the exam is given, please advise the students on the following
- To use a #2 pencil
- To fill the circles completely
- To erase clearly any answer that they wish to change
- To print and bubble last name and first name on back side
- To print and bubble the identification number on the back side
- To not make any stray marks on the answer sheet
After the exam is given, please provide us with the following information:
- Index/budget number to be charged
- Question Values (i.e. questions 1-5 are 2pts each, questions 6-9 are 3pts each)
- Alternate Answers (i.e. question #3 is either A or C)
1) Pencil only. The scanner does not read ink.
2) DO NOT make any stray marks on the form, especially along the edges of the form. This prohibits the scanner from reading your answers properly.
3) If you are a Medical Student, you need to bubble in your 8 digit AAMC number only. Pharmacy and Grad students should bubble in 8 digits of their PID#, omitting the "A."
4) Please bubble in your name if applicable, on red forms, please print your name on the line.
5) Please bubble in the circles completely as demonstrated on the form... the scanner cannot read the bubbles if there is a light mark or just an "x" or checkmark.
4) Erase any answer you wish to change. Marking an "x" over an undesired answer will not be read by the scanner and in fact marks it as a zero.
