Easy to Use Interface
The interface to the program is very simple and follows the same design guidelines as other exam systems, this allows the child to gain experience and confidence in the use of computer based exam programs.
Flag and Review
Where the child finds a question that he or she wants to return to, they can 'flag' the question and return to it at any time using the review button. This helps the child get used to the idea of leaving harder questions until later, a good practice to ensure a maximum score is achieved on test papers.
Practice Mode with Hints
The child doesn't have to run the software in 'examination mode' all the time. The child can run the software and select questions of a particular category to practise on. While in practice mode there is no time limit and the child can get a helping hand at anytime using the 'Hint' button.
Graphical Results with History
The last three sets of test results are stored and displayed at the end of the test. This allows progress to be seen graphically and gives a sense of achievement to the child.
Printable Test Result Report
The results of the test can be seen in a report format, detailing all the questions asked, the answer given and - if the question was answered incorrectly - the correct answer.
Full Keyboard Accessibility
Athena Player provides user full access to the application from the keyboard.
Free Upgrades for Life
The Athena Player product is under continual development and all customers are provided free upgrades for the life of the product. Furthermore, from time to time, we amend our test packages to include more questions or take advantage of new facilities provided by Athena Player, these too are provided free of charge to our customers.
