What is the difference between test scoring mode and data collection mode?
There are two modes for scanning your forms. In test scoring mode, the forms will actually be scored against a key that you have created and the scanner will print the score on the form. In data collection mode the scanner simply records the responses. Data collection mode is typically used for tabulating ballots and surveys or for scanning tests where the scoring will be accomplished in a program other than DataLink™. You do not have to use a key when scanning in data collection mode.
