Migration from ExamSystem II to REMARK Examination

Scanning Software

ExamSystem II support ended when ScanTron purchased a division of NCS Pearson

ExamSystem II only works on Windows XP, which is no longer supported by Microsoft

ExamSystem II can be used during transition Remark works on Windows 7, provides most

reports, has additional functions, and more flexibility

Why Change?

Graphic version in Remark is called “Condensed Item Analysis” and “Detailed Analysis”

Exam System II Item Analysis Non-graphic

Remark allows various Grade books to be exported. A custom grade book is being investigated for Pilot.

RemarkGrade books

Raw data with scoring can be exported in .asc format. This file transports easily into Excel. Similar results can also be exported as .txt.

RemarkExport Numeric/Data Ascii files

Traditional “posting report” cannot be generated by Remark (similar report shows names/UIDS)

Calculates biserial point for discrimination, but no distractor analysis

Disadvantages

Flexibility with “weighting” (ESII only supported whole numbers)

Excel, PDFs, .txt, .asc supported as exports Working to create a “drop” area for tests

instead of email with passwords (File Locker) Graphical displays Remark allows multiple answers, a frequent

request by Faculty
