Student Aid CAN help you LEARN something FASTER than normal studying!
WHY? Because rather than reading the information and trying to remember
it, Student Aid challenges you to THINK of the right answer! As you fail
to answer - you learn (from your own mistakes). On top of that - you get
instant feedback! And can continue onward, with minimal delay, learning
more. You can even monitor your progress on various tests over time.
To best use the program you should collect the quizzes from your
instructors during the semester and type in those questions (or similar
ones from your class notes) as the semester goes on and then use Student
Aid to refresh your memory before major tests and exams.
Though the data entry can be a lot of work initially, it does
significantly aid in the review process. In this version of Student Aid
data entry has been significantly been simplified to allow most
everything to be done from the keyboard, and/or from the mouse.
The Main Menu area is the central place that allows you to access most
all the features, such as [L]oad a test, [S]ave, [E]dit, [T]ake, [V]iew
grades etc... Some of the features are also available through the use of
pull down menus. And some options like changing screen or printing to a
file are ONLY available from the pull down menu or /A-key combinations.
Each area has its own set of gadgets which can be activated either by
left mousebutton or by pressing the key that is underlined.

\_________________________________________________________/
(Click on gadget or press the underlined letter)
[L]oad - This option will bring up a file requester to allow you
to select a test file to load from disk
[S]ave - This option will bring up a file requester prompting you
test name to save the currently test as (Default will be the current
name) and when you select 'ok' it will then save the test to disk.
[V]iew Grades - This takes you to the area where you can review the
test grades for the currently loaded test. After each test/quiz is
taken, the score is saved to disk (that is if your configuration is
set to save it). In this area you can monitor your progress in a trend
chart. You can also review grades for everyone who might have taken
that test.
[T]ake test - This takes you to the area where you begin the test/quiz
practice/review process. Before this option can be executed a student
aid test must have been loaded, or created.
[E]dit test - This takes you to the area for editing the currently loaded
test. For the test to be valid, you must at least have 1 question.
[C]reate test - Selecting this starts the processs for creating a new
test. There are basically 5 steps to creating a new test, they are:
1) click on this gadget to enter edit test area
2) select the answer FORMAT for your test (you can mix & match but
that makes it tricky because you'd have to exit edit mode, change
format and reenter edit)
3) add questions to test
4) exit edit mode back to main menu and give test a name and brief
description
5) save newly created test
[P]rint test - This takes you to the area where you can print selected
questions to a print file or directly to printer. You can also print
an answer sheet of those questions. To print a test to a file, you
need to enter the print area by selecting the pull down menu 'PRINT
AS...' selection.
[student name] - This gadget allows you change the name of the current
student. The purpose of maintaining names is to enable you to view
individual trends or progress charts of the quiz and/or test.
[test name and description] - This is the default path and name of the
currently loaded test. The description is saved within the test to
allow you to more specifically identify what kind of test it is.
If you are planning to Create a new test, then change this requester
after you start the CREATE process and add some questions else the
name & description will be lost when you select to Create test.
