Remark Classic OMR 4 has many new features. The following list provides an overview of what is new in this version. Please see the specific sections of the User's Guide corresponding to the listed feature for complete details.

All of the new features in this version are too numerous to mention. We have highlighted some of the bigger features here. Take some time to review the User's Guide and the software to see all of the new enhancements.

General Features in Quick Stats:

• Report Batch Wizard. The Report Batch Wizard allows you to select, print and export multiple reports at one time. In addition, you can apply filters that automatically execute as the reports are run (e.g., filter the grades based on teacher). Report Batch Wizard configuration files can be set up and reused.
  
  
• NA (Not Applicable) Answer Choices. You may now exclude NA answer choices from your analysis reports, providing you with more accurate means and statistics. For example, if your answer choices are Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, Strongly Disagree, NA: if someone chooses NA, you can have it not count in the statistics, but still be able to see how many respondents chose the NA response.
  
  
• Scaled Scores. The Grade Wizard supports "scaling" a score, whereby you look up grades in a table and then apply the scaled score from the external file. You can define a default scaled score lookup for the overall test and for learning objectives. Scaled scores can look up by either total score, percent score or percentile. The following grade reports support the scaled score: Student Statistics Report, Student Grade Report, Comparative Grade Report, Demographic Grade Report and Student Response Report.
  
  
• Support for Multiple Versions of an Answer. You can now enter various versions of an answer and have them all treated as the correct response. For example, if .25 and ¼ are both correct, using the Grade Wizard you can instruct the software to allow either answer to be considered correct.
  
  
• Turning Off Subjective Questions Using Easy Grade. When using Easy Grade, if a subjective question is left blank or contains non-numeric data, it is excluded from the grade operation (marked as not graded/not subjective). Otherwise, if the subjective question contains a numeric value, that value is used as the total possible subjective points for the question.
  
  
• Blackboard Export. The ability to export grades to Blackboard has been added. A Blackboard Building Block is available to streamline importing grades into Blackboard.
  
  
• Screen Captures. You may now access a screen capture utility in Remark Quick Stats to capture portions of reports (e.g., graphs to place in other applications).
  
  
• Data Groups. When analyzing multiple data sets together, you can enter a descriptive name for each data set. That name can then be used to filter data in Remark Quick Stats, as well as on certain reports, such as the Demographic Comparison, Comparative Grade and Comparative Item reports. This feature is useful for comparing data sets.
  
  
• Importing and Exporting of Grade Scales: You can now import and export grade scales for the purposes of sharing them via the Remark Quick Stats Preferences.
