FREE BUBBLE SHEET GENERATOR

Catpin Productions offers a free bubble sheet generator for educators.  I'll admit, I'm not the world's biggest supporter of multiple-choice-only tests, but for a quick assessment, they can be a wonderful thing and when it comes to the world of standardized testing, they are an absolute necessity.  The problem that I've run into in the past with standardized test prep is that Scantron does not offer a form that is set up in the same way that the ACT bubble sheet is formatted (alternating ABCDE with FGHJK).  Also, I like the option to create only the number of questions as the actual test contains; it tends to minimize the frequency of student error if there won't be any extra unused answer lines.  

Now, I know some people will argue that creating these bubble sheets will be a grading nightmare, but I assure you that each sheet can be graded in about 15 seconds as long as you have an old school-style overhead projector.  Just create an answer key by filling in the bubbles with a red pen.  Then, place the answer key on the projector; light will be shining up through the paper.  Next, place a student-filled bubble sheet on top of the answer key.  Any incorrect answers will show a red mark; all correct answers will have the red mark from your answer key hidden by the student's answers (as long as the two pieces of paper are lined up correctly).  Note: This is also a wonderful way to save time when grading word searches, as some students think teachers check to see which words are crossed off the list, rather than which words are actually circled.

Note: While you are on Catpin's website, check out the card trick--it's uncanny!

The plasma cutting process includes the use of a plasma torch to cut metals and steel of different thickness. Plasma cutters have become very popular around the world as an excellent tool for metal cutting. This wide popularity has resulted in various manufacturers conducting extensive research to improve the functionality of the plasma cutters.

Please add bubbles in Arabic. There are 22 countries that use Arabic. The method is easy. Add an Arabic OMR font.
