At Kent State, test scoring is the second largest application that uses
the scanner.  I would imagine this is the case for most universities.

We use an in-house system written in FORTRAN that runs on VM/CMS.  It
includes most of the standard test score features: Item analysis, freq
table of scores, student lists sorted every which way, scoring options,
multiple keys, grade book, etc.  Still havent figured out how to combine
different keys for the same test together into a single item analisys.
Suggestions anyone??
