That reminds
me of the time in High School when they had all
of us in the 12th grade fill out this scanned form asking
all sorts of information I didn't think they needed. The form
was the type filled out with a #2 pencil and optically scanned.
I filled mine out (more or less correct, leaving answers I
didn't want to give blank), then took the extra time messing
with the control marks along the edge.
I don't know if the changed control marks had anything to do
with it, but we never got the results back.
Too bad you didn't go to my high school, 1980-1982...
I graduated in 1982.
We didn't have any fancy scanners for scoring tests, our
teachers had to do that by hand. We did have a lot of the
scanned tests for standardized testing and such, but of
course those all were sent off for scoring.
