The use of IBM mark-sense cards as multiple-choice paper-and-pencil test answer forms

Abstract

In the machine scoring of tests, can the key punch step be left out by the use of mark-sense cards as multiple-choice answer forms by Ss? 96,720 airmen were administered the Airman Proficiency Tests. "The transition from the conventional multiple-choice answer sheets and test scoring to mark-sensing and scoring through the aid of electronic computers is feasible and less expensive, when processing large volumes of test data, than conventional methods."
