Abstract
Abstract A self-correction answer and scoring sheet for use in multiple choice testing. The sheet is imprinted on the same surface both with a panel of groups of response boxes to be marked by the person tested and a scoring panel having scoring boxes which correspond to the correct or preferred answer for each group of response boxes. The sheet is folded so that the scoring panel underlies the response panel with each of the scoring boxes being in registry with a selected response box in each group, the selected response box corresponding to the correct or desired answer. Means are provided for forming a visible mark on the score sheet in response to impression of an answer on the response panel. A correct response is indicated by the formation of the visible mark within the score box. An incorrect answer is indicated by the formation of the visible mark outside of the score box.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
267 words
A testing device comprising: a unitary sheet of paper having a first surface and a second surface, said sheet being foldable into three panels in which the first surfaces of the first and second panels face inwardly toward each other, and where the second surfaces of said first and second panels face outwardly away from each other, the third of said panels being foldable to underlie said first panel so that the first surface of said third panel faces inwardly toward the second surface of said first panel; a plurality of selection regions defined on the second surface of said second panel, said selection regions being arranged in at least one group thereof and in a pattern to define an answer sheet on which a response to a particular question may be impressed in any selection region of a particular group thereof; scoring regions defined on the second surface of said first panel, each of said scoring regions being disposed so that when said sheet is folded, said scoring regions will be in substantial registry with selected of said selection regions on said answer sheet whereby said scoring region may indicate directly whether an impression has been made in a particular selection region of said answer sheet; and at least said second surface of said first panel and said first surface of said third panel being coated with cooperative compositions adapted to form said visible mark on said second surface of said first panel when said third panel underlies said first panel and in response to an impression made on said second surface of said second panel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A testing device as defined in claim 1 wherein said sheet is folded to define said panels and said configuration thereof, and means for sealing said folded sheet in said folded configuration.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A testing device defined in claim 2 further comprising: means associated with at least one of the said panels for precluding visual determination of the location of said scoring regions on said first panel when said sheet is folded into said three-panel configuration.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
A testing device as defined in claim 3 wherein said means for precluding said visual determination of the location of said scoring regions comprises: means foRming an opaque coating on at least a portion of one surface of one of said panels.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A testing device as defined in claim 4 wherein said opaque coating is formed on said second surface of said third panel.
