Abstract

Although the technology for the automatic grading of multiple-choice exams exists, it is neither efficient nor as automatic as it claims to be. All proposed methods have a predefined answer sheet format that looks like a crosswords table or a chessboard. Because of this format, all questions must have the same number of choices. Such an answer sheet is not clear, and candidates taking the exam can and will accidentally mark the wrong cell in the table. Most of them assume that there is only one possible answer for every question. This article proposes an algorithm that does not require any special format, works with all scanning resolutions and is actually fast.
