Answer Circling for
Knowledge-Based (written)
Questions
When using paper/pencil
assessments, participants may
be permitted to circle their answers
directly in the test booklet. To
support accurate scoring, the
Site Coordinator transfers these
responses to the official answer sheet before
returning materials to NOCTI for
scoring. Careful transfer of responses
helps ensure results
are recorded correctly and the
integrity of the
assessment is maintained.
Large Print Edition
When a participant requires a large
print version of an assessment
due to a documented disability,
this option may be requested at
the time of ordering. To allow sufficient
preparation, requests must
be submitted to NOCTI at least
four weeks prior to the assessment date.
Large print versions of answer
sheets are not currently
available. Participants respond
directly in the large print test
booklet, and the Site
Coordinator transfers the
responses to the official answer
sheet to
support accurate scoring.
This approach
helps ensure accessibility for
all participants
while maintaining the accuracy,
consistency, and integrity of NOCTI
scoring and credentialing.
