Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for electronic tracking and control of secure test documents. One aspect of the present subject matter is a method for management of a plurality of test documents. In one embodiment, precode data for a test-taker population is associated with secure document data for the plurality of test documents. The plurality of test documents is distributed to a test-taking center for administration to a plurality of test-takers. The plurality of test documents is received from the test-taking center after administration to the plurality of test-takers. The received plurality of test documents is verified against the distributed plurality of test documents and the precode data to account for the distributed plurality of test documents. The received plurality of test documents is processed to determine test results. The test results are reported. Other aspects are provided herein.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improved processing of forms using color. One aspect is a method for processing a plurality of test answer sheets in a standardized test system. In various embodiments, each of the plurality of completed test answer sheets is recorded. The completed test answer sheet is scanned, an identifier for the completed test answer sheet is determined, and three or more colors are electronically recorded to form a multicolor image on a computer readable medium. The multicolor image is representative of the scanned completed test answer sheet. The multicolor image is associated with the identifier in a database. Each of the plurality of completed test answer sheets is scored. Scoring the test answer sheets includes digitally modifying at least one color in the multicolor image at an image use point to assist with scoring the completed test answer sheets. Other aspects are provided herein.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for prioritizing the processing of standardized tests. One aspect of the present subject matter relates to a method for processing completed standardized tests. In one embodiment, test-processing priority information is received, and is associated with machine-readable identifiers for standardized tests. Completed standardized tests are received, and are identified by reading machine-readable identifiers. The identified standardized tests are processed according to the associated test-processing priority information such that higher priority tests are automatically processed before lower priority tests. Other aspects are provided herein.

Abstract: The present subject matter relates to a system for generating documents for testing and surveys. The system in various embodiments provides for generating and managing an electronic item bank The system provides for generation, administration, analyses, and processing of tests and surveys formed from items in the item bank Wherein an item includes information stored in a data structure to serve as a common source for the information for that particular item.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for pen based data entry and storage are provided. In one approach a digital pen capable of electronically storing several written responses is used to record responses to forms, surveys, polls, or tests. In one approach a tablet PC capable of electronically storing several written responses and other responses is used to record responses to forms, surveys, polls, or tests. Various data processing and storage techniques are provided. Various data communications are provided. Various item types are provided for a number of different user responses.
