Plain Paper
TEKScore
eLearning:
The plain paper feature allows you to create and print your own answer documents for students. Contact the DMAC Help Desk at 1.866.988.6777 if your school does not have this feature currently enabled.
Before giving any tests on Plain Paper, complete these steps.:
Test Keys must be approved for printing on Plain Paper.
Click on the Paper Icon (from the test key list or individual key).
View the form and click the Approve button.
Once a key is approved, changes that alter the layout of the test form will not be allowed. This includes: adding or removing items; changing an item's type (multiple choice, rubric, numeric); changing a rubric's range; and, changing a numeric item's format (i.e. changing the grade level).
Keys that have been approved will have a green checkmark on the paper icon.
NOTE: You can still use the keys for other methods like online testing after approving; it does not limit the test key for only plain paper testing.
Run a Printer Test for the printer you will use to print answer documents. This operation is required to test the accuracy of any printer used to print forms.
From the Test Forms section of the top navigation bar, click the blue Run Printer test button. Print the test form; scan it in on the device you will use for student documents; upload the file and make sure
IMPORTANT: when printing forms, make sure that all of the corner registration marks and that you do not have the page size scaled or ‘print to fit’ selected.
Recommended scanner settings - any scanner or copier that can meet the settings below should work; however, ALWAYS run a test before printing student forms.
