STEP 1 · PREPARE THE RESPONSE SHEET

Start with the GNOME OAS

Print the official 45-question optical answer sheet before the assessment. The generous borders and registration marks are part of the scanning design, so use this PDF unchanged.

Workflow: print → students shade → Canon ADF scan → Purview classification → GNOME review and marking.

Roster files stay in this browser. The GNOME Namelist bookmark runs only inside your authenticated SCMobile tab and uses read-only same-origin FlexiList GETs.

STEP 3

Load scanner PDFs

Classify the Canon scan files with Microsoft Purview first, then add every PDF chunk from the batch. GNOME keeps page order within each file and natural-sorts the filenames.

STEP 4

Review & override

GNOME proposes an interpretation; the teacher is authoritative. Select an entry on the left, compare the live annotated scan, and overwrite identity or answers where required.

STEP 5

Setup answer key

Not confirmed

Paste directly from Excel into the grid if useful. The grid always shows all 45 OAS questions; only Q1 through the declared question count are used. Leave rows below the declared count blank. Presets fill mark allocation only; correct answers stay blank.

STEP 6

Mark, inspect & export

Run the marking pass, inspect preliminary cohort and item-level results, then bundle the final results pack.

Not marked

Marking scripts

Any material change to cohort, identity, responses, answer key or marks makes the run dirty; simply re-mark.

Bundle results pack

Separate progress from marking. GNOME bundles Scripts PDF, Annotated PDF, Result Slips, Analysis.xlsx, Session JSON, then the ZIP.
