<p>a sprained elbow…? I sprained it yesterday when I was playing basketball with my friends… I still am definitely taking the SATs this Saturday but I am curious if the markings I leave on the scantron aren’t extremely dark, would the machine still be able to detect them? It doesn’t hurt that much when I write, but I don’t feel like gripping the pencil that firmly since it will tire my arm out. Thanks.</p>
<p>Scanning machines are built to recognize patterns; basically, if you’re a person that maybe leaves part of the left side blank or don’t make a very dark circle, it will adapt to that. The best way to darken circles is to start from the middle and keep making circular motions to the outside.</p>
