The College Board made its new app public—just in time for the PSAT! The coolest feature by far is something called Scan-and-Score.
Here’s how it works: from the app, you take a photo of your SAT/PSAT answer sheet. The answers are uploaded, checked, and a score report is generated. Boom! You’re done.
That’s how it works in theory, anyway. I tried to grade the official PSAT. I tried two different phones, on three different surfaces, with the lights on and off. Each time I got this:
Hopefully this gets resolved quickly. This is a really cool feature that empowers students and makes grading tests a snap, literally. Hard to give it a review until it’s working, though.
This is an old post, but for those of you having the same issue, the mistake here might be that you didn’t mark the test number.
Hey there! You know what, the app is working now. I tried everything when it first came out and nothing worked. It works pretty beautifully now! Maybe to be fair to the College Board I should make another post…
I just got the app and filled out a practice test on paper and did the scan and scoring but when I finish the scanning and it goes to score the test, I get this message: “Scan Processing Error: There was a problem processing your scan. Please try again.” Please help.
Gosh, I don’t know what to tell you, man. We ended up building our own graders to handle the College Board tests. I hope you found a solution!
Same problem … very frustrating. I even entered the answers manually and got the same error – “Scan Processing Error”. Something is wrong with this app!
I am having the same issues as mentioned before. Neither scanning via camera or manually inputting my answers will give me a grade for my PSAT 1 test. This should be looked into and fixed ASAP!!!
