Getting Started with Grading Sheet Generation
The Edgion AI Grading Sheet Generator allows you to create custom multiple-choice answer sheets that you can print on standard 8.5 × 11-inch paper and distribute to your students. These sheets are designed to work seamlessly with our Scoring Module for automated grading.
What you'll learn: How to create a custom grading sheet with your subject name, number of questions, and answer options, then download or email the PDF.
Step-by-Step Guide
Steps 1-5: Fill out the grading sheet form
Type your subject name in the Subject field (e.g., "PHYSICS AP", "MATH 101", "HISTORY").
This will appear at the top of the grading sheet so students know which test it's for.
Use the dropdown to select the number of questions on your test (5 to 50 questions).
The grading sheet will automatically generate the correct number of answer bubbles.
Select the answer format for your test:
- ABC - 3 choices per question
- ABCD - 4 choices per question (most common)
- ABCDE - 5 choices per question
Enter a 4-digit Answer Key ID (e.g., 2222). This ID links the grading sheet to the answer key you'll create in the Scoring Module.
💡 Tip: Remember this ID! You'll need it when creating the answer key and when scoring the completed sheets.
Click the "GENERATE PREVIEW" button to see what your grading sheet will look like.
