Scan exam papers

Use this page when paper copies must be scanned before AMC processing. The person responsible for scanning depends on the AMC support level.

Ans exams

For CePro-supported Ans exams, CePro normally handles scanning and imports the copies into Ans.

AMC Gold / Silver​

Repro cuts the exam booklets and CePro handles scanning. Sort and deliver the copies according to the agreed process; CePro then makes the scan files available for the next processing step.

AMC Bronze — small exams​

For Bronze exams where you scan the papers yourself, use the EPFL multifunction printer with these settings:

warning

AMC requires a complete set of pages corresponding to the generated exam. Missing pages or altered scaling can prevent reliable processing.

Before importing into AMC​

Before importing the files into AMC, check:

  • all students/copies expected are present;
  • every page has been scanned;
  • files are readable;
  • orientation and scale are consistent;
  • the scan folder will not be moved during AMC data capture.
