Note: To print answer documents, you need Adobe Reader. You can download a free copy from the Adobe website.
Review the following guidelines for printing and copying answer documents:
● Printing the master answer document:
– Use a high-quality laser printer (600 dpi or better).
– Do not create answer documents on an ink-jet or dot-matrix printer.
– Use multipurpose copy paper that meets the following specifications:
○ 8.5" x 11"
○ 20 lb plain white
○ non-recycled
○ 84-brightness or higher
– When you print the answer document, verify that the Scale to paper size is set to No Scaling in the Print dialog box.
– When you print the answer document from Adobe Reader, verify that Size Options is set to Actual Size and Orientation is set to Auto portrait/landscape in the Print dialog box.
● Copying the master answer document:
– Use a high-quality copier set to print single-sided.
– Do not use a high-capacity, low-quality duplication system.
– Copies must be the same size as the original (not enlarged or reduced) and not distorted in any way.
– Use the scanner bed when copying by placing the answer sheet face down on the glass; do not use the auto document feeder.
– If the registration marks (the squares in the corners of the answer documents) are in the wrong positions or distorted, scanning may fail.
● Ensure the quality of the answer documents distributed to students. Be sure the answer documents are clean, crisp copies centered squarely on the page.
Note: Test assignments must be created at the building level to print answer documents for all students in multiple classes of the same grade.

The answer document image appears in a separate window. The answer document displays a separate page for each class with the name of the class and the list of students for the class.

The second page of the answer document displays the name of the class and names of all the students in the second class for grade 2, and so on. |
