Okay, so y friend just took a chem test, and were having a ball trying to confirm the last answers to it.

Here we go....

14. For 8 free points, you must mark in answer a) for #14, then answer the survey question below.
a) is the answer!!

Survey Question:
15. My major is
a)Biology b)computerscience/math c) physics/chemistry d)nutrition e)other


Some jackass friends of mine say the answers are A for 14, and the correspoding answer for 15, while others say 14 is A and 15 is A regardless. What do you think?


The test was scantron with questions phrased as such

xx. etc
a).... b)...


Can scantrons have variable answers for one question?

In my opinion, it can go both ways if the scantron allows

Your professor gave an extra 8 points on a test?!!!

15 is in no way related to 14. 14 is a free 8 points to anyone that can mark "a" for #14

Dude, that made no sense whatsoever.

the way scantrons work, there's an answer key. The answer key is placed in, and then the tests scanned through. If on the answer key, #15 had all answers marked as the correct answer, then any answer would be correct.

The question basically says, "For 8 free points, do THIS then THIS".
So, fill in (a) for #14 and THEN answer the survey question. For the survey question, it just says to ANSWER it, NOT answer it with an (a). It sounds pretty straight forward to me. Why are your friends so confused?


<< 15 is in no way related to 14. 14 is a free 8 points to anyone that can mark "a" for #14 >>


I disagree. It sounds like both #14 and #15 are required in order to get the 8 free points.

Oh, you rookies and your single answered scantrons.
There's a sure fire way to have two shots at every question on a scantron test.
Pick two answers, and fill in the circle closest to the left. Then erase it, mostly, but still leave some marking in it. Then color in the second answer.

When the machine marks it, it goes from left to right. So it gets to the first one one half erased, and it thinks that's your answer, and it marks it as such. When you get the paper back and go through the answers, if the first circle you colored in was the right answer, don't complain, but if it isn't and the second circle you actually colored in was the right answer, then go complain to the prof that you had erased it and the second one was actually your answer. You'll get a mark for that one instead.
Worked for me, but you can only use it about once every 20 questions or so, or it'll look too suspicious.

Got me an 87 in second year Chem.
