Instructions for Correctly Filling Out Exam Bubble Sheets

Question

How should students fill out exam bubble sheets?

Answer

Students taking exams should be instructed as follows:

  • The Sekonic SR-1800 reads ONLY #2 pencil markings, not pen or permanent marker.

  • Darken the circle (bubble) that corresponds with the answer.
  • Mark only one answer per question.
  • Fill in each bubble completely. Do not mark in the margins or outside of the circles.
  • Make sure to fully erase any bubbles that are mistakenly marked or not the correct answer.
  • When entering BGSU ID number in the Identification number grid, the first number is to be marked as a zero. (e.g. 0000123456)
  • When entering Student name in Name section, the blank bubble in the space between last name and first name must be filled in.

Note: The scanner may consider an answer incorrect if more than one bubble is darkened. The scanner might skip an answer if the marking of the bubble is too light to detect.
