The maximum number of item choices for Matching or

Ranking is 9 per group. If the number of items needed is

greater than 9, divide the number by 9 to determine the

number of groups, rounded up to the nearest whole

number.

For example, for 15 items, when you divide by 9, you will

get 1.66. This means you need 1 group + 1, rounded up to

2 groups.

Under Number of Items, enter numbers for Multiple

Choice, Matching, Numeric Response, etc., if applicable.

Then, enter numbers for points under Points Per Item,

where applicable.

Note the total Number of Items and the point Total change

as you fill in the boxes.

5. When you have entered all of the applicable information,

click on [OK].

Creating New Score Key for Existing Assignment

You can utilize existing assignments and create a score key for them. For this example, assume that

you are using 25 multiple choice questions at the end of Chapter 3 in a History textbook.

• If you are going to enter your answers at the computer complete steps 1 and 2, then skip

to steps 6 through 7.

• If you are going to create a scan card by hand, read the information in the Hint below,

then complete steps 1 and 3 through 7.

Hint: If you want to create a score key scan card when you are away from your computer, write it

up by hand and use AccelScan to scan your answers in to AccelTest when you return. You can use

any number of questions from 1 to 25 for the short scan cards, and 1 to 50 for the long scan cards.
