A scaled score converts a student’s score on a test to a common scale that allows for a numeric comparison among students. Scaled scores are considered an advanced feature targeted to specific use cases where a specific test grade is needed from an external grading system. A scaled score allows you to use a database to translate a student’s score on a test from a standard raw or percent score into another scale, as defined in the translation file (database). If you need to use Scaled Scoring but aren’t sure how to set it up in Remark Office OMR, this webinar is for you.

This webinar is targeted at advanced Remark Office OMR users. But whether you are a beginner user or a seasoned pro, this webinar is tailored to provide invaluable tips and techniques to leverage surveying effectively.

Using Associated Question Feature to Link ICR Regions to OMR Regions in Remark Office OMR https://remarksoftware.com/blog/2024/07/icr-regions-to-omr-regions-in-remark-office-omr/ Mon, 15 Jul 2024 18:49:52 +0000 https://remarksoftware.com/?p=26558 In Remark Office OMR, a question can be associated with another question so Remark knows whether to expect data for that question.

The post Using Associated Question Feature to Link ICR Regions to OMR Regions in Remark Office OMR appeared first on Remark Software.

]]>
In Remark Office OMR, a question can be associated with another question so Remark knows whether to expect data for that question. For example, if you have a multiple-choice question that has an “Other” response, Remark will only read the handwritten “Other” response if the “Other” bubble is chosen.

In addition, you can merge an open response with its related multiple-choice question, so that the write-in response becomes part of the multiple-choice question. The “Other” responses become part of the original question when analyzing the data and generating reports in Remark Quick Stats.

With Remark Office OMR, you can use the ICR – Intelligent Character Recognition capability (used in conjunction with a Microsoft Azure Computer Vision subscription account) to recognize and convert the handwritten response into text for inclusion in the data set and reporting.

To capture the handwritten “Other” response on your form, you will use an ICR region in the form template file.

In the ICR Region Properties, you will set up your region properties and, then, click on Associated Question in the task pane on the left side of the window.

In the Associated Question window, you will set up the Conditional Association Options. Check the box next to “Associate with a Question from Another Region” and select the appropriate Region, Question, and Answer(s). In this example, the answer for the associated question is “Other.”

If you want to merge the handwritten open response with the associated question for analysis and reporting in Remark, check the box next to “Merge with the associated question when analyzing.

Click OK to save your changes.

When your completed forms are being processed in Remark, you will see that the handwritten responses in the ICR Region for “Other” are being captured and converted to text in the Remark Data Center grid. In this example, we have the handwritten responses “GOVERNMENT” and “RETIRED” converted from handwriting to text.

When generating the 204 Condensed Item Analysis Report in Remark Quick Stats, you can see that those open responses of “GOVERNMENT” and “RETIRED” have been added as answer choices for the associated question and included in the statistical analysis. The data from associated questions will be displayed in various other reports in Remark Quick Stats as well.

Note: The responses for reporting are case sensitive. For example, “GOVERNMENT” and “Government” would be considered two different responses in the analysis.

We’re thrilled to bring you the latest updates to Remark Test Grading, designed to make your test administration experience smoother than ever. Let’s delve into the exciting new features and enhancements:

New Feature:

  1. Answer Key Import from CSV:
    • We’ve introduced a convenient feature that allows you to import answer keys directly from a CSV file. Simply navigate to the answer key action menu and upload your CSV file containing the list of correct answers for each question. The format is straightforward: list the correct answers on separate lines, using commas (,) to denote multiple correct options and a plus (+) to indicate that all listed answers are required. For instance:
      • A
      • A,B (Either A or B is considered to be a correct response)
      • D
      • D+E (Both D and E are required to be considered a correct response)
      • C

Other Improvements:

  1. Recognition Updates for Compressed Images:
    • We’ve enhanced our form recognition capabilities, particularly when reading images that are compressed. To ensure optimal performance, remember to print test forms uncompressed (at full size in your PDF reader without any fit options enabled).
  2. Online Session Data Accessibility:
    • Administering tests online? We resolved an issue where the Sessions button sometimes failed to enable, especially when dealing with a large list of students or expired sessions.
  3. Zoomed-in Search Functionality:
    • Editing class rosters is now hassle-free. We’ve resolved an issue where the search function failed to display students properly when the display was zoomed in, preventing users from accessing essential buttons.

Database Lookup has been added to Prompt for Fill for Image Regions in Remark Office OMR 11. Database lookup allows you to connect a region/field in your template to an external file to validate the data being processed and return additional data to your data set. For example, you can look up an instructor’s name and add additional data such as class name, test date, and test name.

To use this feature, create an Image region in an empty area on your form image in the Remark Template Editor. In the Region Properties, check the box next to “Prompt me for the fill value at the start of a read session.”

Click on Database Lookup in the task pane on the left.

Browse to your database file that you want to link to Database Lookup and select the Lookup, Replace, and any Additional Return Fields you may want to use.

Below is a sample of the database used in this example.

When you are finished setting up Database Lookup, click on the OK button.

As you begin processing your completed forms in Remark, you will be prompted to select the data for the Default Fill Value. Use the drop-down menu to make your selection. Using the drop down to select your information ensures your data will be consistent for reporting.

Your Prompt for Fill field and all additional return fields from Database Lookup populate the Data Center Grid in the Data Center as your forms are processed.

Remark Product Support can be reached Monday – Friday (except for major holidays) from 9 am – 6 pm Eastern Time at 610-647-8595 or by email at Support@Gravic.com.

Begin by using Remark Quick Stats to run a report. The process is the same whether you are working with a test and grading or working with a survey.

To export preferences from a computer:

1. Select Tools from the menu bar at the top. Then, select Export Preferences.

2. Browse to the location you want to save the preference file.

3. Type a name for the file. Remark will add the .ini extension to the file. You will need to copy this file to either a USB drive or to a network location to access it from the other computer.

4. Click Save.

To import preferences to another computer:

1. Select Tools from the menu bar at the top. Then, select Import Preferences.

2. Browse to the location of the file you saved previously and select the file you exported with the .ini extension. Click Open to complete the import.

3. You will receive a message “Import Successful”. Click OK to exit.

Your report preference settings are now imported on the other computer in Remark Quick Stats!

Remark Product Support can be reached Monday – Friday (except for major holidays) from 9 am – 6 pm Eastern Time at 610-647-8595 or by email at Support@Gravic.com.

Greetings to our Remark-able Community!

We’re back with another quick Remark Test Grading update, and this time we’re excited to introduce some fantastic features that will enhance your test-building experience. Let’s dive right in!

Test Designer Preview Update

Building tests just got even more flexible! With the latest update, you can now toggle the test designer between a paper and online test preview option. This allows you to seamlessly switch between the two modes while constructing your test, giving you a real-time glimpse of how your questions will appear in different formats.

Online Test Preview

Distributing online tests has never been smoother. The “Online Test Preview” feature now displays the test exactly as it will appear to your students, including questions that were excluded from your answer key and multiple versions of the test. This enhancement ensures that you can confidently present your online tests, knowing that students will have a seamless testing experience after we provide you with a clear and accurate representation of what your students will be seeing during testing.

Optimization for Large Tests

We understand the challenges that come with handling large tests, especially those packed with numerous pages and images. In response to your feedback, we’ve made significant improvements behind the scenes. These changes are designed to reduce the size of large tests, making the application more responsive as you build them. Enjoy a smoother and more efficient test-building process, even when dealing with extensive content.

Improved Bubble Recognition

We know life isn’t perfect so we’ve also enhanced bubble recognition under the covers to help read those real world forms, particularly when it comes to forms filled in with light pencil marks.

When you log into Remark be sure to read the notifications for all of the new enhancements.

Thank you for choosing Remark Test Grading!. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!

Happy testing!


We’re committed to continuously improving based on valuable customer feedback. These updates aim to make your experience more user-friendly, responsive, and tailored to your needs. As always, your satisfaction is our priority. If you have a suggestion for a new feature, let us know by clicking the button below!
