Far too slow. Looking for a replacement for ZipGrade (which for legal reasons doesn't work in the EU anymore), but GradeCam is far more difficult to use. You can't do a test scan without keying the answers in first and it won't work offline like ZipGrade. The hurdle to get one successful OMR test going is just too high. Oh, and it all takes forever.

I have been using Gradecam for one full year and my school has paid for the pro license. I prefer Gradecam to others because of the variety of assignment options and the interface is mostly intuitive and phone/touch friendly. There are some weird quirks, however, and it can take some getting used to. For example, if you want to remove a student you dont go into the "student" section but have to remove them from their assigned class. There are lots of weird issues like that which could be fixed to improve the general quality of life. My biggest issue, however, is that there is no feedback for successful scans if the phone is muted. As a teacher, I need to make every minute count and I would like to grade things while other students are taking their test. I dont know if a scan is successful unless the sound goes off and distracts mu students. This really bothers me because I gave this suggestion last year and, while I'm not a software developer, I cannot imagine that adding a "vibrate" option is that difficult. I would love to recommend this to my entire school but there are too many little things that would annoy/confuse less tech savvy folks. There is a lot that should be fixed for the price the school is paying.

Great app for creating custom scantrons. It really cuts down on my grading time. It has a lot of extra features like being able to dictate a range of correct numerical answers, ability to weight questions differently, and the ability to designate multiple right answers with different point values. I've been happily using it for 5 years.
