DUPLICATION

*We no longer duplicate exams.  Talk to your department secretary to find out which Copy Center your department uses.*   

Preparation guide for exam printing

Test originals

Print your originals on 8.5x11 -inch white paper with standard margins.  Use a laser printer.

 

Copyright

Tests that include copyrighted material must be submitted with permission from the copyright holder to use the material.  The Copy Centers' copyright clearance service can help you obtain the necessary permission.  United States Copyright Office.

 

Multiple test forms

Scrambled forms of a test can be created by moving intact test items. The Evaluation and Examination Service scoring program limits the number of forms to four.

 

Cover page

The Exam Service requires that a cover page be included with tests that use scannable answer sheets.  Select the one you wish to use, download it, edit the information in the box above the instructions, and print a copy to submit with your test originals.  If you have created different forms of your test, be sure to print a cover sheet for each form.  Cover Pages.

 

Duplication job ticket

You must submit an order form (Test Duplication Job Ticket) with each order.  It gives the Copy Center staff the information it needs to produce your job.  Order Form

 

Answer sheets

You may request answer sheets from the Exam Service or, in some cases, your department or college.  If you want to have full-size answer sheets inserted into each test book, you must include them with your originals when you place your order at the Copy Center.  You do not need to include half-size answer sheets with duplication requests.  Answer Sheets

 

Deadlines

The Copy Centers must have three full working days to complete an order to print exams, for orders placed before the final exam period.  Starting the week prior to finals, the turnaround time extends to five days.  We post the final exam schedule and Copy Center deadlines after the Registrar publicizes the exam schedule.
