Migration from ExamSystem II to
REMARK Examination Scanning
Software
Why Change?
 ExamSystem II support ended when ScanTron
purchased a division of NCS Pearson
 ExamSystem II only works on Windows XP, which is
no longer supported by Microsoft
 ExamSystem II can be used during transition
 Remark works on Windows 7, provides most reports,
has additional functions, and more flexibility

Remark
Export Numeric/Data Ascii files
Raw data with scoring can be exported in .asc format. This file transports easily
into Excel. Similar results can also be exported as .txt.
Disadvantages
 Traditional “posting report” cannot be generated by
Remark (similar report shows names/UIDS)
 Calculates biserial point for discrimination, but no
distractor analysis
Some Advantages
 Flexibility with “weighting” (ESII only supported
whole numbers)
 Excel, PDFs, .txt, .asc supported as exports
 Working to create a “drop” area for tests instead of
email with passwords (File Locker)
 Graphical displays
 Remark allows multiple answers, a frequent request
