Below are the main features of the software:

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 difficult questions

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.

Hints available in practice mode

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 representation of the results

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.

View and print a report of the test

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.
