bubble sheet

Fill-in answer grid

A bubble sheet is a form with rows of small circles that test-takers fill in with pencil to indicate their answers—designed for optical scanning and automated grading.

Also called a Scantron sheet after the company that popularized them: I forgot to bring a number 2 pencil for the bubble sheet.

The verb phrase bubble in means to fill in these circles.
