ZipGrade VPP App Reviews

Annoying.

I dont know the developer of this app, but I strongly suspect she or he is a teacher. This is one of those rare gems out there that truly understands the limitations teachers have! I tried the app today and it worked faster and more accurately than the very expensive desktop suite that I currently use. The reporting is top notch. What gets me is how much more accurate this is over the desktop testing suites. I tried to fool this app with partial erasures, smudges, and incomplete fill-ins. Every time, it correctly scored the answer! I cannot praise this app highly enough!

Worked extremely well to grade my students (course of 330 engineers). Method was accurate, provided excellent online data, well worth the 10 dollars! Took me all of 20 minutes to grade 300 exams! You should try the demo if you are thinking about it. 10/10 would reccomend!

This app is fabulous, a real killer app in two senses: it kills test scoring time more than any other tool Ive used; it is also incredibly reliable. I just used it to score a batch if final exams. First time in my teaching career that exams were graded by the time I walked out of class, and NO errors. Dynamite!

This application is excellent! I strongly recommend it.

This app makes grading multiple choice quizzes and tests quick effortless. You wont regret the purchase!

I have only written a review one other time... this HAD to be praises! I cant tell my teacher buddies fast enough. With ScanTrons unaffordable with our budget, the $10 was well worth my purchase. Easy, quick and now my best tool!

This app completely streamlines objective grading. The setup is easy and designed with ease of classroom use in mind. The app scans quickly and accurately. The program generates useful data for test evaluation. Plus, the added benefit of the cloud feature allows for seamless use of data from device to computer and back again. This app is well worth the price!

I love this app. I wish I had it 4 years ago!

This is perfect! This app brings a fast and reliable way to score tests and quizzes, receive detailed item analysis and stats, store data in the cloud, etc. The app and website are great tools for the classroom.

This app is the only one I have EVER paid for and it is 100% worth it. Quicker, more accurate and MUCH cheaper than scantrons AND you can instantly analyze data and share with students!!! Its AMAZING!!!!!!

This app is all that I expected and more. I had considered purchasing a grade machine for my own school use. This is better by an order of magnitude. Not only is it far cheaper. It is superior to the schools Scantron machine, for which I was purchasing forms at $37.00 per $500. I use it for daily quizzes, Exit Tickets, and all other classroom assessments. I am an ecstatic customer.

I just tried the app today and graded 100 papers very quickly. The students loved getting the immediate feedback. I also used it in a formative fashion by allowing the students to retry the problems that they got wrong for half credit. Another teacher liked the item analysis feature. Imagine grading quickly everybodys quick quiz in class and finding out almost everyone got problem number 7 wrong. Now that makes data useful!

Our school systems testing was based in Thinkgate, which is now defunct as of May 2015. Pre the Thinkgate implosion, scantrons were no longer purchased by our system (since we were using Thinkgate) and now, an alternative was needed if I didnt want to grade tests by hand during finals. I tried GradeCam (clunky, too expensive with a $15/monthly fee) and another teacher recommended this. There are two versions, this one with unlimited use at $9.99 or the other with a $1.99 monthly or $6.99 yearly fee. This is WELL WORTH the $9.99. While rosters and item analysis can be done on the computer. Creating test keys and grading tests must be done with a phone or tablet. Pros: 1. allows printing of blank answer sheets for copies. When scanning with a phone, it takes a picture of the name so you can easily see in the list which paper belonged to which student. 2. Can use a CSV file to import names and use their student numbers to assign a ZipGrade student number, we use Infinite Campus, so that is an easy export/import. Sheets can be pre printed with student names/numbers on them if you create a class list. 3. Can do easy item analysis with a break down of how many students chose which answer. 4. Can export copies of the test sheet with item analysis into PDF 5. Can export data as a CSV file for spreadsheet manipulation/analysis Cons: Would love to use it with our state standards because we are required to do "standards analysis." But that is something for later down the line.

Version 1.14 has been a spectacular asset not only for routine quizzes but also for quickly analyzing my benchmark tests. The upcoming version 2.0 has made a great product even better with things like weighted questions, extra credit problems, flexibility with classes and quizzes, and a layout that is more intuitive and appealing to the eye without losing the familiar look of previous versions. All this matched with a quality support team. You wont be disappointed!

In data-driven schools, ZipGrade is an invaluable tool. Its fast and easy to use, and it breaks down data by student, class, and assessment. Id recommend ZipGrade to any teacher who uses multiple choice assessments.

Wow! This app is a dream come true. Fast and accurate feedback. Really makes assessments painless and inexpensive!!!

No more standing in line at the scantron machine and kids get virtual instant feedback on tests and quizzes!!! Worth every penny!!!!

Dont know why this app hasnt gotten more reviews. Anyway great app, works as described. :-)

Using ZipGrade changed my perception of grading. From being a chore, grading has become an interesting activity which I look forward to engaging in. I have since introduced the app to other teachers who now use the app. ZipGrade app is phenomenal!
