Software to mark multiplechoice exams
Published:  01 September, 2007

Kendata Peripherals has introduced a new software utility that will significantly reduce the amount of time spent by teachers and lecturers on the marking of multiple-choice exams.

Known as SEMS, the software works in conjunction with the AutoData forms-processing system to provide a simple report showing the title of the exam and a listing of candidate numbers, student names, corresponding percentage marks and the number of questions answered by each student.

After the AutoData system has scanned students’ answer sheets and entered their responses into an Access database, the user simply scans in a master sheet with the correct answers. The SEMS software then compares the students’ answers with those on the master sheet and instantly generates the report. In addition, the new software can generate student response feedback reports for use in assessments to enable individual students to see which questions they answered incorrectly so that they can identify the areas that need additional work. The AutoData forms processing system, which is also ideal for other applications such as surveys or course evaluation, enables data to be scanned from paper forms directly into an Excel spreadsheet or Access database.
