UBTLC: Request form for Enhanced Test Scoring
Job #
UBTLC has developed a number of standard scannable answer sheets easily printed on a laser printer to use in courses for testing and
assessment. Upon request, these templates can be modified to meet specialized needs for each course. For assistance or information,
contact Carol Tutzauer, UBTLC, [email protected] or (716) 645-3901.
To submit a job, you will need 4 things: (1) this job submission form, (2) answer keys as required (see instructions in this form), (3)
completed student answer sheets, and (4) a student data file (.xls or .csv) with fields StudentID, and Lastname,Firstname (either
separate or as a single field, as HUB provides). Jobs can be submitted in person to the UBTLC office (212 Capen Hall, inside Silverman
Library, North Campus). Alternatively, you can scan all the materials to one or more PDF files and email with student data file to
[email protected]. Because of UB email limitations, divide into multiple pdf files of no more than 50 pages for each file, and
email in separate emails.

Submitted by: ___________________________________________ Date submitted: ____________________
Email contact(s): ____________________________________________________________________________
Department: ________________ Course / section: ____________________ Approx. no. students: _______
No. questions: _____
Multiple answers:  No  Yes  If yes, score as:  OR (any is correct)
 AND (all required)
Test versions:  1  2  3  4 (maximum of 4 test versions / answer keys, designated versions A to D)
For single versions  STEP 1: Include, with completed student answer sheets, a copy of the test answer
sheet labeled ANSWER KEY with the correct answers bubbled in. STEP 2 (optional): If you also have sets of
items that map to learning outcomes, indicate the test item numbers for each outcome:
Outcome 1: ________________________________
Outcome 4: ________________________________
Outcome 2: ________________________________
Outcome 5: ________________________________
Outcome 3: ________________________________
Outcome 6: ________________________________
STEP 3: Complete page 4, where you can specify additional outcomes (in excess of 6, if required), select
grade scale options, and provide any ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS.
For multiple versions  There are 2 methods for handling the scoring and reporting of multiple test
versions / answer keys, with subsequent pages of this form relevant to the Overall Method or the Separate
Method, as explained below:
 Separate Method: Each version is scored separately, with a report generated separately for each test
version. This is appropriate if different test versions have different content or sets of questions (for
example, “parallel” forms). In this case, each version will have a separate item analysis, summary
statistics, and frequency distribution. Complete page 2 of this form, entitled Separate Method.
 Overall Method: Scores all versions together, with reports covering all students. This is appropriate if
the various versions have the same questions, but are simply arranged differently on each version. The
program generates a single item analysis, summary statistics, and frequency distribution. Complete
page 3 of this form, entitled Overall Method.

Separate Method (multiple test versions only)
Complete this page ONLY if you have multiple test versions AND you wish to treat each version as a separate test, where item
analyses and other summary information will be reported separately for each version. This method is appropriate if different test
versions have different content or sets of questions, OR if response options for questions are ordered differently across versions. The
program generates multiple item analyses, summary statistics, and frequency distributions for each respective version. Student
forms must be sorted by version in order to generate item analyses.
STEP 1: For each version of the test, include a copy of the test answer sheet with the correct answers bubbled
in. Each version should be labeled: KEY x, where x = A, B, C, up to D (4 maximum).
STEP 2 (optional): If you also have sets of items that map to learning outcomes, indicate the test item
numbers for each outcome for each version. Specify additional outcomes (>6) on page 4.

Overall Method (multiple test versions only)
Complete this page ONLY if you have multiple test versions AND you wish to have responses tabulated into a single item analysis and
summary report. Use this method if the various versions have the same questions with the same ordered options, but questions are
ordered differently across versions. The program generates a single item analysis, summary statistics, and frequency distribution.
STEP 1: Include, with completed student answer sheets, a copy of the test answer sheet labeled
MASTER KEY A with the correct answers bubbled in for that version.
STEP 2 (optional): If you also have sets of items that map to learning outcomes, indicate the test item
numbers for each outcome on MASTER KEY A. Specify additional outcomes (>6) on page 4.
Outcome 1: ______________________________
Outcome 4: _________________________________
Outcome 2: ______________________________
Outcome 5: _________________________________
Outcome 3: ______________________________
Outcome 6: _________________________________
STEP 3: Now, indicate the correspondence between the test items across the various versions, by entering the
question designation (e.g., M1 = Master question 1) in the order they appear on that version. (V1 = Master)
