Check the website and do an email search on the topic before calling. Bring your seating charts with the booklet numbers. This helps during quality control when a booklet number was overlooked on the answer document. Use the Quality Control document that we send you to help quality control answer documents on campus. Quality control is really for counting answer documents….NOT completing the missing information for students.
