English term or phrase: test bubbles or bubble tests
Acing the multiple choice tests.

These are those sheets (used to be called IBM sheets) where people fill in little circles with their answers (always in pencil) on multiple choice questions, so that computers can tabulate the right/wrong answers.

But I can't find a good translation that would be understood by primary level students. (I know, I usually do stuff for university level, but in this case, I'm translating for a much younger group).

Here's an example:

agree  Tristan Jimenez: I would keep "QCM" and add "avec des ronds/bulles/cercles à noircir" so that children can understand what it is about.
