scantrons
Bubble answer sheets
Scantrons are standardized answer sheets designed for machine grading, featuring rows of bubbles that test-takers fill in with pencil.
The name comes from the Scantron Corporation, which manufactures the forms and scanning equipment.
By extension, scantron refers to any multiple-choice test using such sheets: I have three scantrons this week.
The format is associated with high-volume testing in American schools.
