Error: Changing the name of the Assignment in ExamView after the test has been published to HOAP under another
Resource name will cause an error.
Solution: After modifying a test in ExamView, republish/associate the test
in HOAP before administering the test to your students.
Error: Clicking outside the Importing Scores popup may cause the upload process to
terminate.
Solution:
Please wait until the popup closes automatically after it completes
uploading the file to the server.
Error: Using special characters, such as #,%,*, or ! may cause your upload to fail.
Solution: Please only use underscores, letters and integers in your filenames.
Error: Students in your Class Roster in HOAP may not have Student IDs (not a required field), while ExamView Class Roster require a Student ID and will assign one to your class in that application.
Solution: Assign Student IDs in your Class Roster in HOAP and then match the Students in ExamView to those same ID numbers.
Error: HOAP currently allows for alphanumeric Student IDs in Student Profile, however, scanning and bubble sheets can only accept NUMERIC ONLY IDs.
Solution: Assign Students in your Class Roster in HOAP numeric only Student IDs and then match the Students in ExamView to those same ID numbers.
Error: Changing the ExamView test without re-publishing the test to HOAP before administering the test may cause the import process to fail, because of a mismatch of number of questions or question types.
Solution: Always republish/associate ExamView tests in HOAP before administering the test and importing scanned scores.
Error: Bubble sheet can only accept multiple choice or multiple response types of questions. Other types of questions, such as Matching, Short-Answer, or Numeric question types may cause problems with your
ability to scan scores, import scores and report on them in HOAP.
Solution: Only create tests with multiple choice or multiple response question types before publishing/associating the test in HOAP and then administering the bubble sheets to your students.
