The PDF Bubbletest Generator
can be used to output sheets
in a printable PDF format.


Your sheets will be "pixel
clear", and you will have the
ability to save your PDF on
your PC, just like any other
PDF file. Let me know what
you think of it. The current
Bubble Test Site will remain
as-is. And it's always free!




I realize teachers usually
operate with limited funds,
but if this site is truly help-
ful to you, please consider
contributing a small dona-
tion.  Thank You.




Do you have young
students or students
with challenged motor
skills?


Easier to read ...
There are some larger
bubble styles in the '500'
section of the Teacher
Submitted Graphics. These
are perfect for younger
students.

In this example, I also
enlarged the font size,
widened column space,
and increased space for
the distance between lines.

Did you know ...
that you can eliminate the
page numbers AND the footer
that appear on your sheet
when printed on the printer?

View your "page settings" or
"printer setup" to change
all header and footer fields
to -Empty-
Change Settings
The header / footer settings
appear on the same part as
the margin adjustments.

Another hint: Make all
margins as small as you can.
Enter zero(0) for each and
let the browser determine
the smallest margin number.

Create a test key by

Use a permanent pen
to mark the correct
answers on test key.



MATH GRID HINTS:
If you plan on mixing math
grids with other styles, I
recommend that you make a
couple separate sheets and
cut the paper printout with
a scissors. Create a master
test sheet you can copy on
a normal copy machine.
Basically, you'll be arrang-
ing your own columns so they
line-up properly.

 English   Espanol 

Formatting height of paper ...
Standard 8.5" X 11" paper only fits up to 30 questions per column.
That assumes you use standard line spacing for questions. Any deviation
from that may push your questions onto a 2nd page. You may have to use
your printer options (shrink to fit) or (reduce by percent).

Step 2 Create the Columns of Bubbles ...

Formatting Space Between Columns ...
This spaces the columns apart narrower or wider.
NARROWER WIDER

You can print up to five columns on the form.
Each column can have a different bubble style.
If you use all five columns, you may have to do "fit to page" for
proper printout on 8.5inch paper. (use your print preview)

   Math Grids and X-Y Axis Graphs (scroll for various styles):

PLEASE NOTE ... Because the column format is not working when you mix these
grids with other styles, please generate the math grid columns one at a time.
Print them out separately, and cut/paste (scissors and tape) together a master
of your test sheet. I realize this consumes more paper, but until I can figure
out how to align the columns, there is no other option.

Step 3 Select Misc Options ...

   Print Alternating Color Background ...
        Background Color by  Each Line   Grouping (see Group below) 
        Your browser needs to be set-up to print background colors.
        For instructions on printing background colors: printing colors
       Select Color:  1    2    3    4    5    6    7 


   Print BOLD Letters  ... Example:


   Print BLANK Bubbles  ... Example:
        Only valid for large and small round 'letter' bubbles.
        This option takes precedence over the BOLD option.
          - Select Styles 1-8, 29 or 30 for this option.


Include TRUE - FALSE Letters ... Example:
Prints at the top selected columns. (A=true, B=false)
            Include TRUE-FALSE for Column 1
            Include TRUE-FALSE for Column 2
            Include TRUE-FALSE for Column 3
            Include TRUE-FALSE for Column 4
            Include TRUE-FALSE for Column 5


ODD or EVEN Numbering of Columns. Force it to only
print the ODD or EVEN numbers in your numbering range ...
       Column 1:   Normal   ODD   EVEN
       Column 2:   Normal   ODD   EVEN
       Column 3:   Normal   ODD   EVEN
       Column 4:   Normal   ODD   EVEN
       Column 5:   Normal   ODD   EVEN


SWAP Positions of Score Box and Instruction Box
This determines which side of the page the boxes appear.
       Score Box <--   --> Instruction Box
       Instruction Box <--   --> Score Box


Include Instructions:   See page position above.
     Do Not Print Any Instruction Boxes





   Select a cool "meme" instead of a normal instruction box ...





















Include Score Box:   See page position above.
     Do Not Print Any Score Boxes
    
    
    


   Center the columns on printout.


   Force a Gap between each of the question numbers
        and the bubbles. This will allow the use of Assessment
        Indicators
. This will widen the page format and possibly
        cause margins to overflow. Adjust your printer accordingly.
        (especially if you are using more than three columns)


   Force each column to begin with ABCD...
        For styles such as 21-34. Use this if you have an odd
        number of questions in a column and you don't want
        the letter sequence to carry-over into the next column.


   Force the first question in column to begin with FGHJ...
        For example, instead of starting the column with ABCD, it
        will start out with the 2nd line, like FGHJ. If selected, all
        columns will start the same way, regardless of the question no.


   Group sections of the test. (example: 5)
        This will cause a slight blank space between questions,
        making it easier for students to keep their place on
        the sheet. Select how many questions for each group.
        Grouping by 5 or 10 is most common.
        For background color, see that option above.
        (Leave this blank for non-grouping of questions)


   Add More Spacing between lines. (0-50 pixels)
        You can control the spacing between lines by entering
        the number of pixels to increase the space. Visualize:
        Visualize what the vertical spacing looks like
        (Leave this blank for normal line spacing)


   Include Registration Marks  ( )
        Prints marks in the leftmost column to simulate
        printout for an automated test marking machine.


   Assign a unique 'Test ID' number.
        Select this option to reprint your form at a later date.
        All data is saved for future retrieval (for 1-2 months).
        The ID number will appear on your form.
