Abstract
To determine a read level threshold for discriminating those response bubbles on a scannable answer sheet intended to be marked from those response bubbles not intended to be marked, an adjustable read level threshold is dynamically determined based on the read levels of a designated pool of response bubbles. Response bubble marks having a darkness read level at or above a threshold level are interpreted to be intended response marks, and different response bubbles in which response marks may be found are assigned different predetermined scoring values.
