Taking a test by filling in the bubbles with a #2 pencil.
Alright kids, before we get started I just want to remind you to use a no. 2 pencil and bubble in your answers completely, please make your marks heavy and dark. While selecting an answer, select the most correct answer.
And the less often used addendum "only select one answer unless the question specifies otherwise"
I never used these for regular (not periodic state mandated) tests until college, I assume because the cost of Scantron machines isn’t zero but making teachers grade by hand is.
My current voter form is fill in the ovals next to the names!
Not sure if technically scan tron or not, but close enough.
I had a teacher tell my class one year that you could defeat the markings by running chapstick along the black horizontal lines on the left.
That same teacher said that's why he didn't batch feed so that he'd hear the machine try to stamp and fail and know he'd need to hand grade that one.

Oh yeah, they've been using a computer since covid.
Missing the dot matrix printed number with your score and the answers for the questions you got incorrect.
Used these in high school and more recently in university. Still being used as of a couple years ago.
My kids just confirmed that for me as well. Color me surprised... but I guess it still makes sense.
