Welcome to TESCAN, a UL-Lafayette program used for test scoring and analysis of Scantron(TM) data. TESCAN is supported by University Computing Support Services; for assistance contact our HelpDesk at 482-4357 or see http://www.louisiana.edu/InfoTech/UCSS/Docs/tescan.html

Choose one of these options:
(a) score only
(b) score and report
(c) report only
(?) to explain the differences between options a-c
(h) to HALT, then POWER OFF, this computer
(q) to quit, then restart, this program
:
Type c and press . Always press after you issue a command.
Use this option when you want to transmit the data (but have no scores printed on exams) and obtain printed/email results. Use this option with caution, even if you will not return the tests to the students, it can be helpful to see the printed results on the key and the student sheets. For example, if a test has 50 questions and the score on the key is 49 then you know that there is a problem with the key.

The instructions for this section are identical to the instructions TESCAN (Using Scantron to Score and Obtain Printed/Email Results).
