MASTERING the SCANTRON
|
|
======================
|
|
Typed by: THE WARHEAD
|
|
Thanx to: IVANHOE
|
|
Brought 2U by: ENGIMA!
|
|
|
|
We all know what the scan-tron is, don't we??????
|
|
|
|
The scan-tron are those bitchy little cards with the little bubbles
|
|
and rectangles that our precious teachers expect us to fill in with
|
|
those #2 pencils. In the past you had some machine zap through the
|
|
cards only to tell you that you have failed biology. This meant that mom
|
|
and dad are gonna take your computer, telephone, and nights on the town
|
|
and stuff them in their closet, (along with their kinky sex toys).
|
|
|
|
Well, worry no more... A group of brilliant people from the
|
|
Armed Forces Pirating Guild have come up with a simple, but workable method
|
|
to evade those little red slashes that seem to say "nice try, faggot".
|
|
|
|
***EXPLANATION***
|
|
|
|
Scan-tron machines detect right or wrong answers by picking up on led
|
|
#2 pencil marks.
|
|
|
|
If nothing has been marked at all in the given space, then your answer
|
|
will be marked wrong. However, if there is neither a dark pencil mark
|
|
nor a blank, the machine will get a little confused and simply not mark
|
|
anything. You might say to yourself, "Well, what about the score printed
|
|
at the end of the test??", to which point we respond...
|
|
|
|
Scan-tron machines assignes a variable to the number of possible points
|
|
and the number of problems wrong. Then it subtracts one from the other
|
|
and prints the answer at the bottom. The little red marks beside your
|
|
answers represent the number wrong, however, if there is no red mark, then
|
|
there is simply "nothing wrong" as far as the machine is concerned.
|
|
And we all know that our beloved teachers pay no attention and leave
|
|
all the adding to those wonderful little machines.
|
|
|
|
***HOW TO AVOID THE RED MARKS***
|
|
|
|
There are two types of fill sheets one can receive, ones with the
|
|
circles to fill in, and ones with the rectangles to fill in.
|
|
|
|
On the ones with the circles, there is one way to avoid a slash...
|
|
IF A CIRCLE IS LIGHTLY SHADED IN, TOO LIGHT FOR THE MACHINE AND
|
|
TOO DARK FOR THE TEACHER TO QUESTION, THE MACHINE WILL GET CONFUSED AND
|
|
SIMPLY LEAVE YOUR ANSWER BE. Once again, if there is no mark, the
|
|
machine does not subtract from the total possible, and the teacher
|
|
does not notice. Don't get it wrong though, the computer will mark
|
|
a circle that has not been filled in at all 'wrong'. The only trick is
|
|
to lightly fill it in with the correct tint.
|
|
|
|
Now for the rectangles...
|
|
|
|
The same method described for the circles will also work for the
|
|
rectangle form, along with another method...
|
|
This method is, drawing many diagonal light lines through the rectangle.
|
|
However, this method is not recommended because 'teacher' will probably
|
|
catch on (some teachers are really stupid though).
|
|
|
|
One more note:
|
|
|
|
Finals are coming. Start practicing!!!
|
|
|
|
By the way, this wethod WORKS. It's kept me playing sports and
|
|
I gotten to keep my telephone, computer, and social time.
