2. ■ A mobile device app that turns your iPhone, iPad, or Android device
into an optical scanner for grading paper multiple-choice
assessments.
■ ZipGrade turns your phone or tablet into an optical grading machine
similar to a Scantron.
■ It reads free-to-download answer sheets in multiple sizes.
■ Provide instant feedback to students by grading exit tickets, quizzes,
and formative assessments as soon as they finish.

3. Pricing
■ Free download and 100-scans per month with free account
■ Unlimited Scanning: $6.99 for 1 year

4. Benefits
■ Instant Feedback
■ Many teachers now grade as soon as students
complete a quiz or test. Students receive immediate
feedback and teachers can redirect differentiated
learning quickly.
■ Save time
■ Low cost
■ Easy to keep student’s test record
How I do: After the test, I collect the answer sheet and students keep the question sheet.
1. They can check the answer by themselves. (I post the answer on the wall.)
2. I went over the answer right after the test. ( using document camera)
3. Student don’t need to wait for a week for the teacher to correct and hand back the test

5. Step 1
■ Visit https://www.zipgrade.com/
■ Create a free account
■ (iPhone or Android) Download ZipGrade app

6. Step 2
■ Download, print the Answer Sheet
■ Free account: 100 / 50 / 20 questions
■ Or Create your custom Answer sheet (Paid account)

7. Step 3: Update your quiz, test or exam
to multiple choice questions

8. Step 4: Make an Answer sheet, bubble
with correct answer
■ It is always a good idea to be the first to answer the quiz you create
■ Depending on the time given to the test, adjust the length of the
test

9. Step 5: Create a New Quiz using the app
■ Create a New Quiz, select the answer sheet (20, 50 or 100)
■ Scan your bubbled answer sheet for that quiz
■ Or enter the answers by hand
■ Answers can be adjusted by hand

10. Step 6: Create the classes
■ You may scan all the papers with no class setting, but separating the classes
is a good idea if you have more than one of the same level of class

11. Step 7:
Teach students to use the answer sheet.
■ I did not create the student ID on ZipGrade. So there is no
ZipGrade ID for my students. I ask them to leave it blank.
■ If you want to create Student ID on ZipGrade, you can visit the
website and enter student’s name one at a time.
■ Students can use pencil or pen to bubble the answer sheet.

12. Step 8: Scan the answer sheet
■ Scan the answer sheet
■ Get instant grade
■ You are done!
