Mark without separate answers sheet, but printed with separate answers sheet

Added by Jácome Cunha 12 days ago

Hi!

I've prepared and printed my exams with separate answers sheet. However, due to a printing issue, students answered in the questions sheet. Thus, the answers sheet has no answers. How can I mark these exams?

I know I can add the answer sheet "by hand", but I'm looking for a more automated way of doing this.

Thanks in advance!

I have not tested it, but you can try this:
  1. clone or backup your project directory to work on a copy as you have to be prepared to break things…
  2. close AMC
  3. open a terminal, go to your project directory and exchange the boxes roles in the layout database:
    cd /path/to/the/project/directory
sqlite3 data/layout.sqlite 'update layout_box set role=50 where role=2;'
sqlite3 data/layout.sqlite 'update layout_box set role=2 where role=1;'
sqlite3 data/layout.sqlite 'update layout_box set role=1 where role=50;'
  4. open AMC and your modified project, and go to automatic data capture from your scans
