Does the computer score the numbers on the grid or the bubbles? Why do students need to write in the answers on a grid?
The answer sheet is machine scored. The computer software reads the bubbles, just as in the multiple-choice responses. Students do not have to write in the answers on the grid, however writing in the answers will help students avoid bubbling incorrectly. The numbers help students in the alignment of the bubbles.
