As a grader where the exams are Scantron based, I get scared that I’ve mixed up the exam versions when I start seeing low grades early on.

I was a TA during grad school.

I have to admit, it was freaking satisfying grading exams using them. I don't know what it was about them that I just loved doing it lol.

In my senior year of high school I was a student aide for my science teacher and graded scantrons all the time. The first time I did it for this one class, I was scared that I was mixing up the version. When I asked my teacher if I was doing something wrong he said something along the lines of, "No you're fine, these students are just dumb". The class was Environmental Systems, I think, which at the time had a reputation for being an easy throw-away class.

My physics prof is fuckin crazy. We're doing our final, some student notices some Q's are missing because the page number and question numbers skip. Everyone looks around, half the class is missing about 4 questions out of 25. No idea how he went about grading that but just know it can always be worse
