In my experience if the student was capable to actual circle the correct
answer, often our students can use a crayon or marker whatever... then I allow
the space for them to do so. Example:
Circle the correct answer

         Agree

         Disagree

        Not sure

Or you could label the choices as suggested
A, B, C or 1, 2, 3

A.      Agree

B.     Disagree

C.      Not sure
Then they could answer on a separate paper or however it would be preferred.
Using a computer or on their notetaker.

I would do the same two choices for "tick" the correct answer. However if it is
preferred and the student can ....they can put a sticky dot or whatever would
work next to the choice.

For "strike-outs" I would suggest they indicate on another page what is
incorrect.

You may have to structure the way in which they can answer differently for them
to be able to understand what they are to do.
As long as you don't change the actual question it is okay to change the
structure of the way to answer.

This is very common in my work experience.

Good luck :)

Kuenga,

You can certainly indicate a circle using the shape indicator, but I'm unsure
how a braillist would braille this 'in front of the statement' - do you mean
braille onto the exam paper/question itself? Or do you mean the braillist
writing the correct statement and brailling the appropriate 'circle' symbol in
front of their answer? In which case, isn't writing the statement enough of an
indication of their chosen option?

In terms of 'altering/tampering' the questions - the skill being assessed is
knowing which option is correct, and the way they indicate that knowledge is
irrelevant. Labelling the options and asking them to choose the correct one
(i.e. A, B or C) gives the reader a much quicker and simpler way of indicating
that they know the right answer, without having to laboriously braille out the
entire sentence.

Interested to hear more thoughts on this!

Dear All,

I am afraid I was unable to make things clear.

Suppose in a test paper, if there are questions such as circle the correct
answer or tick the correct statement or cross out the false statement. I have
seen some Braille transcribers using choose the correct answer or rewrite the
correct answer or rewrite the false statement. In doing so, I feel we are
altering/tampering the questions.

I was just thinking, why can't we use the shape symbol "ED" sign, Braille dots
1, 2, 4, 6 and Braille Letter C for circling in front of the statement.  Or,
will this be a diversion?

Or, is there a standard rule for questions as such in Braille to be transcribed?

I hope I have made clear.

Kuenga,

Personally I would suggest labelling the options (perhaps A, B, C.... or
numbering them), providing them in list form, then changing the question
accordingly:

'Choose the correct answer from the four options given labelled A to D'.

Dear List,

In UEB or in any other Braille Literacy, suppose if there are questions of :

  1.  Circle the correct answer.
  2.  Tick the correct answer or
  3.  Cross the mistakes.

How do we do in Braille?
Is it necessary to modify the questions? Or
Do we have Braille symbols for representing the shapes?

Looking forward to hearing soon.
