SUMMARY
Marking outside the circle on an OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) sheet generally does not lead to rejection of the answers, as the technology primarily relies on a single photodiode that detects whether enough of the circle is marked to block light. The OMR system does not capture images of the entire sheet, focusing solely on the marked areas. Therefore, as long as the marks sufficiently cover the designated areas, the answers will be recognized correctly.
