Which Multiple Choice Form is Right For You?

Our most frequent question from our customers is “which form should I choose?” The most important thing to keep in mind is that not all forms work in all machines. People often think of our product as a “Scantron”. Scantron™ is a company that has a variety of scanners that may or may not run the same form.

We here at Apperson also have scanners of our own, that may or may not run the same forms. So, by saying you’re looking for a “Scantron™” form and not delving any deeper is a pretty good recipe for standing in front of your scanner and getting an error message, probably when grades are due tomorrow.

Follow these steps to find the right form:

Step 1: If you would like us to help, please contact us at clientservices@apperson.com, call us at 800.827.9219 or use the Live Chat feature in the lower right hand corner.

Step 2: If you have a form that you already like and you know it works on your scanner, look for a re-order number on the form. See the highlighted re-order numbers in the image below. Once you’ve found the correct re-order number go to our store and enter it into our Keyword Search.

Step 3: You can also search by scanner. There should be a name and model number on yours.

Step 4: If none of these match, try looking here or please contact us. Our trained client services team will help find you the right form.

Final Questions:

1. Am I going to scan this into a computer? If so, make sure you have a form that matches your Student ID field needs.
2. Is this for a test, ballot or a survey?
3. What is the answer pattern? For example, ABCDE or 12345.
4. How many questions?

We hope this helped. If you have any questions or maybe you want a form customized for your needs, please contact us.
