Blank 50-Question Bubble Sheet, No Name Block (A–D, Letter)
Fifty questions, two columns, and nothing at the top of the page that names the student. Bubbles are 5.3 mm across and each row offers A to D. The empty band below the last row is room for a stamp or form code. A free US Letter PDF, no signup.

| Corner alignment marks | Included: four filled squares, 4.9 mm (0.19 in) from each edge |
| Header fields | No header block |
Fifty questions in two columns, with the header block removed so the grid uses the whole page. Use it for anonymous assessments, for a practice set that will be reused, or when names are collected separately on a sign-in sheet.
At fifty questions the grid does not fill the page, so dropping the header leaves a clear band of white space below the last row, which is useful: it is where you can stamp a date, write a form code, or stick a label without covering any bubbles.
Who this sheet is for
- Anonymous class surveys and pre-tests
- Practice sets reused across groups
- Adding your own stamp, code or label below the grid
- Benchmark tests where names are recorded separately
When to choose this sheet, and when not to
This is the version for large anonymous assessments: a pre-test where you only want class-level results, a benchmark where names are recorded separately, or a practice set you plan to reuse across groups.
Without a header, the grid starts almost at the top margin and leaves a band of empty paper under the last row. Use that space deliberately: a rubber stamp for the date, a handwritten form code, or a label with a sheet number are all easy to add there without covering a bubble.
If you need to link a sheet back to a student later, number the sheets before you hand them out and keep the list, or switch to the 50-question version with the Student ID grid. Anonymous means anonymous, so do not rely on handwriting in the margins.
An example
A school runs the same fifty-question diagnostic at the start of the year in every section, with no names, then adds up the answers by question to see which topics the whole grade level has not met.
How to print this at 100% scale
- Open the PDF and choose File → Print.
- Set the scale to Actual size or 100%. Turn off “Fit to page”, “Shrink to fit” and any borderless option.
- Set the paper size to US Letter (8.5" × 11").
- Print one copy and check the four corner squares: each should sit about 5 mm (3/16 inch) in from the paper edge.
Why the fuss? A page scaled by even two percent moves every bubble slightly, and a camera grader measures where a bubble should be. Print at true size and the grid is where the grader expects it; print scaled and it may not be.
Printing note. Without a header the grid starts higher on the page, so this sheet is a quick check that your printer is not trimming the top edge.
How to use it
- Print one copy per student at 100% scale, single-sided.
- Have students fill in the header block first — name, date and class, and the Student ID grid if this sheet has one.
- For each question, fill one bubble completely. A half-filled bubble is a common cause of a mark being missed, and an X or a check mark can be another.
- Erase cleanly and completely. Smudged erasures can read as filled bubbles to a camera.
- Grade against an answer key — see the guide on making a test key overlay.

Frequently asked questions
How do I identify sheets without a name block?
Number the sheets before handing them out and keep a seating plan, or have students write their name in the empty space below the grid. If your grading tool supports ID grids, use the sheet with the Student ID grid instead.
Does removing the header change the bubble size?
No. At fifty questions the bubbles are already at the largest size this site uses, with or without a header block. The space the header would have used simply becomes spare room on the page.
What print settings should I use?
Actual size or 100%, with every fit-to-page option switched off. Scaling changes row spacing, and row spacing is exactly what a grader measures.
Is this sheet compatible with a particular scanner brand?
It is not designed for, or tested against, any commercial scanning brand. It is a generic grid, and whether a given app reads it is something only a test print can tell you — always test one sheet first.
Is a 50-question sheet without a header really anonymous?
The page itself carries no name or ID. Whether the exercise is anonymous in practice depends on how you hand out and collect the sheets, so avoid numbering them against names if anonymity matters.
How do I score a stack of sheets with no names?
Mark them as usual and tally per question rather than per student. A punched overlay and a tally sheet are enough, and the totals will show which items students found hard.
This is an original, generic layout for classroom and practice use. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or compatible with any commercial scanning brand or any official exam. Always test-print one copy before running a class set.
