Or any other standardized test.... yup, very similar, except the
circles are bigger for the voting....

On the ham radio license exam answer sheets, the examinees are
instructed to make a solid circle over the desired answer (A, B, C, or
D). We lay a grading template with holes in it, over the sheet, and we grade it that way. Some have just circled the answers, but didn't fill them in...and it looked like they didn't do anything at all...which
would be an instant failure of the exam.

Dunno... it isn't totally intuitive that "solid circle = circle and fill
in", so one would hope that there's a little explanation given at the
start of the exam.... I can see how just the open circle could be
hidden by the grading template, or be larger than the templates holes...

ttyl neb

... A coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.
