We did, but we have since lowered the cost of the diagnostic and we have implemented a number of different ways to grade the exam and have it scored instantly. Please note that you can grade exams yourself using the Bulk Grading feature outlined here, and students can enter their results (follow the process described here) into an online bubblesheet. Both will provide instant (and free) access to reports 24/7.
