What's so hard about Scantrons (peeve)

Ya'll what's the problem with filling out scantrons correctly? Anybody know?

Here's the deal, I'm in my junior year of a bachelor's nursing program. Everytime before the test the instructors go through the same routine, they: verbally give instructions, they have the instructions typed out at the top of the test and then they even have the instructions projected onto an overhead at the front of class. The instructions are always the same, bubble in your: name, student id #, test version and campus code.

Yet, still every test, there's a delay in getting results because, as one of my instructors posted last week, "an exceptional number" of the scantrons aren't filled out accurately.

I just don't understand the difficulty. And here's another thing, if people can't follow repeated instructions such as described above, are they gonna be able to follow orders and other prescribed therapies safely and accurately?
