How to use QuickCheck

1. Press the green Download QuickCheck button — the one above, or the one at the top of the home page.
2. Your browser saves a .zip file into your Downloads folder. It is about 87 MB, so give it a minute. If the browser asks whether to keep it, choose Keep.
3. Open your Downloads folder, right-click the .zip file → Extract All…, and choose a normal folder such as Documents. Press Extract.
4. Open the folder that appears and double-click QuickCheckPro.exe.
5. Windows may show a blue box saying "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.
6. The first start takes up to a minute. Then the QuickCheck window opens — that is the app.

1. The first time you open QuickCheck, a 7-day free trial starts by itself. A bar at the top shows how many days are left.
2. When you buy, you receive a small file ending in .qckey by email. Save it into the same folder as QuickCheckPro.exe.
3. Click Buy or enter a key on the trial bar. If the key file is next to the app, a one-click Activate "yourname.qckey" button is already there — press it. Otherwise click Click to choose your .qckey license file and pick it, then press Activate.
4. That's it. You won't be asked again, and everything you made during the trial stays.

Everything is in the left sidebar. On a phone it is the ☰ Menu button at the top.

• HomeYour dashboard. It shows what to do next, how your classes are doing, the hardest questions, competency mastery, and the learners to follow up.
• TestsYour list of tests. This is where you make a test, photograph the papers and review them. Every test has the same three parts at the top: Prepare, Check papers and Results.
• ResultsEvery test you have checked, with the reports you can print or download.
• My classesYour class lists and class records.
• Answer sheetsPrint the sheets your learners shade.
• Phone accessThe QR code and PIN that connect your phone.
• SettingsYour name, the folder for class records, report wording, backups, and the QuickCheck version.

Go to My classes → Add a class

Step 1 asks what kind of record you want. There are three:

DepEd format — build it here (recommended)

1. No file needed. Type your school, grade and section and your subjects.
2. Set the terms (quarters) and the categories with their percentages — Written Works, Performance Tasks, Quarterly Assessment.
3. QuickCheck builds the Excel class record for you, and scores go straight into it.

Copy an existing e-class record

1. Choose this if you already have a DepEd .xlsx e-class record.
2. Upload it, and QuickCheck uses it as the template — your own columns, your own format.
3. When you save scores later they go into that same file, in the right column, so you don't retype anything.

Simple scorebook

1. Just a list of learners — good for quizzes.
2. Scores stay inside QuickCheck and download as a plain Excel file.

Then Step 2 — Add students: type the names, or paste a whole list at once (one name per line) and press Add these names. Step 3 — Review & create shows you everything before it is saved.

Go to Tests → Create test

1. Name the test. Name it the way you would say it out loud, e.g. "First Term Exam — Math 8".
2. Which class takes this test? Pick it from your list. Its learners are the ones matched to the papers, and their scores are saved in that class record.
3. What does the answer sheet look like? Type how many items, then choose the answer choices:
   • True/False, A–C, A–D, A–E — ordinary multiple choice.
   • Matching type — A–F up to A–N. Every question gets one bubble per option, so a 10-item matching set gives each row A to J.
   • Parts — for an exam that mixes types, add a part for each one (for example Part I, items 1–20, A–D; Part II, items 21–30, matching A–J).
4. Where do the scores go? Pick the term and the column of your class record this test fills in — for example Written Works 1.
5. Press Save and continue. The page then shows you what happens next.

Right after you make a test, QuickCheck asks: build a TOS first, or skip straight to the answer key?

1. Type each competency you taught, and how many days you spent on it.
2. QuickCheck works out the rest the DepEd way — days ÷ total days × total items — and the item counts always add up exactly to your test.
3. Each competency is given its own item numbers (for example, items 39–50).
4. Press Save Table of Specifications. You go straight on to the answer key.

1. Tap the correct answer for each item. Go down each column — the counter on the right shows how many are still empty.
2. How many points is each item worth? Choose one of the two:
   • Every item is worth 1 point — what most tests use.
   • Some items are worth more — set a range and its points, for example items 1 to 5, 5 points each. Press Add another range for more. Items you don't list stay at 1 point.
3. The card on the right shows the highest possible score as you type, so you can check it matches your paper.
4. Press Save key & continue.

Go to Answer sheets

1. What are you printing sheets for? Choose a test I already made (the usual one), or a quick quiz with no test yet if you only want blank sheets to keep on hand.
2. Pick the test. The sheet is built from it — its items, answer choices and name. Use the search box if you have many tests.
3. Named sheets or blank sheets?
   • One named sheet per learner — each learner's name is printed on their sheet. Faster to hand out, and when you check the papers the printed name tells you at a glance whose paper it is.
   • Blank sheets — learners write their own name.
4. How many sheets on one A4 page? 1 is the recommended setting. 2 or 4 per page saves paper — you cut them apart after printing, and each piece scans like a full sheet. QuickCheck warns you if the test has too many items for 4 per page.
5. Download, then print. You get a PDF. Print it with Actual size or 100% — not "Fit to page" — on A4, one side only. If you chose more than one per page, cut along the dashed lines.

1. Shade the bubble fully, with a dark pen or pencil.
2. One bubble per question. Two marks on the same question can't be counted.
3. Don't fold or tear the corners. The four black squares must stay on the paper.

Go to Phone access on the computer

1. Put the phone on the same Wi-Fi as this computer. A school Wi-Fi, a home Wi-Fi, or this computer's phone hotspot all work. It does not need internet.
2. Point the phone's camera at the square (the QR code) on the screen, and tap the link that pops up. No app to install, no typing.
3. Type the PIN shown on that same page. The phone asks for it once, so only you can send papers to this computer.
4. If Windows asks about the firewall, click Allow for private networks.

Go to Tests → open your test → Check papers

Option A — from your phone (fastest)

1. On the phone, open QuickCheck (the link you scanned in part 10) and open the same test.
2. Press Take a photo and snap each paper — the whole sheet in frame, including the four black corners.
3. The photos upload straight to the computer as you go.

Option B — from the computer

1. Open the test and choose the files: photos, a scanned PDF (each page is one paper), or a .zip of photos.
2. Press Read and review them.

1. For each paper you see the marked photo — green for correct, red for wrong — and the answers QuickCheck read. Show original photo switches back to the plain picture.
2. Whose paper, and is it right? Check the learner's name and change it from the list if it isn't the right one.
3. If a bubble was misread, change that answer. The score updates as you do.
4. Press Confirm & next and move to the next paper.
5. Missed a paper? Use Add another paper at the bottom — it joins the same batch.
6. When every paper is confirmed, press Save all — it is at the top and at the bottom of the page.

Go to Results

1. Pick the test you want. The top says where the test stands — papers checked, class MPS, learners below your cutoff, highest and lowest — and where the scores went (your class record).
2. Under Print or download, the first one is the Report for your principal: press Print or Download PDF. It carries your school's header and the "Noted by" line — fill in your name, the school and the principal's name once in Settings.
3. Below that is every learner in class order, including anyone marked absent or excused and anyone with no paper yet. Open a learner to see their marked paper and correct it.
4. The tabs at the top show more:
   • Which items were hard — every item, hardest first, and how each choice was picked.
   • Competencies — which competencies were not mastered, weakest first, and who needs help in each. (Needs a TOS — part 6.)
   • Printable report — the formal test report on screen: results summary (mean, SD, MPS and proficiency levels, by sex), learner proficiency list, score distribution and item analysis, least mastered competencies, the Table of Specifications and a learner-by-competency matrix. Print one part or the complete report. The interpretation and recommendations are written for you, and you can edit them.
   • Marked papers — the photos with the ticks, if you need to show a learner or a parent.
5. Also under Print or download: the Score list (Excel), and the Whole report (Excel) with every part in one file — the one to download when you're asked to submit documents.

1. QuickCheck keeps everything in two folders next to the app: data (classes, tests, keys, results) and output (sheets, reports, backups).
2. To back up, copy those two folders to a USB drive or a cloud folder.
3. Or go to Settings → Backup & restore → Export everything (.zip) for one file with everything in it, including your Excel class records. Restore from .zip checks the backup first and saves your current work before it adds anything.
4. Before every save into your class record, QuickCheck keeps a dated copy of that file — so a bad save can always be undone.

1. When a new version is out, a line appears at the top of the app: QuickCheck 2.3.0 is available — Update now. (You can also check any time in Settings → About QuickCheck.)
2. Press Update now. It downloads in the background — keep working. QuickCheck checks the update is genuine and complete before it uses it.
3. Press Restart QuickCheck. The window closes and opens again by itself a few seconds later, on the new version.

Something else went wrong

Go to Settings → Make a problem report, press Save this report and send the file to us with a sentence about what you were doing. It tells us your version and what QuickCheck found — there are no learners' names, scores or photos in it, and you can read every word before you send it.

Windows says "Windows protected your PC"

Normal for a new app. Click More info → Run anyway.

The app opens, but my work disappears

You are running it from inside the zip. Close QuickCheck, extract the zip to a normal folder (part 1), and run the .exe from there.

My phone won't connect

Check three things: QuickCheck is open on the computer, both devices are on the same Wi-Fi, and you scanned today's QR code. School Wi-Fi sometimes blocks devices from talking to each other — if so, use your phone's hotspot and connect the computer to it.

A paper wouldn't read

Retake the photo with the whole sheet in frame, including all four black corner squares, in good light and roughly straight on. Avoid shadows across the page. If it still fails, check the sheet was printed at 100% and not shrunk.

"The class record is open in Excel"

Close the file in Excel and press save again. QuickCheck cannot write into a file while Excel has it open.

I can't edit the answer key any more

The key locks once papers have been uploaded or saved with it, so scores can't change behind your back. Remove those papers, fix the key, then check them again.

I need it on another computer

Your key works on one computer. Message us for a key for the new machine, and copy your data and output folders across.
