The Clarke Tests.
The Interactive Learning System.
BEFORE YOU START:
This is a Microsoft Windows based program. That runs off your hard
drive. Evaluate your remaining disk space and allow
4-8 MB for each test you install. You may consider installing a few tests
at a time.
INSTALLATION:
To install The Clarke Tests, insert the CD-ROM into the optical drive
(E: for example).
1. Begin Microsoft Windows and choose File-Run.
2. Type "E:\CLARKE\SETUP" in the input window and click OK. (Note: E: is CD-ROM)
3. The Clarke Tests Setup will install the Delivery Module and ALL
tests.
4. To save disk space, install selected tests only.
CHOOSING THE TESTS:
Open The Clarke Tests by double clicking on the icon. A dialog box
will appear with the choice of tests in your current directory.
All the tests will be listed in the Tests portion of the screen.
To select a test, point to and highlight the desired test. Click
the Open Button or double click on the test name. You can also use
the keyboard to select the desired test. Press the Tab key until
the Tests box is selected. Use the up and down arrows to select
and highlight the desired test. Press enter.
RECORDING YOUR NAME:
Once a test is selected you will be asked to enter your name.
The name entered will be used in the Tracker module to keep track
of your scores. After you enter your name you will be presented
with the first question.
TAKING THE TEST:
Indicate your desired response by clicking on the appropriate
radio button or by entering text into the fill-in and matching
spaces provided. The radio button is the white circle or square
to the left of a selection. Another question type is "hot spots".
These are answered by clicking the appropriate area in the graphic.
Answer using the keyboard by pressing the first letter of the desired
choice. Press the tab to move to a fill-in response box. If there are
multiple responses just tab to the next one.
You can leave the test by pressing the "X" in the corner of the
question page or by pressing the Ctrl and Esc keys simultaneously.
Choose Clarke!! and end the task.
SCORING:
On the study tests you may change your answer at any time before
you click the Score it! button in the lower right hand corner of
the screen. If you do not score each question after answering
you can go back and check your work. The form, performance, and
adaptive tests do not allow for this navigation.
Pressing Enter will score the question if the Score It! button
is highlighted.
NAVIGATION:
You may move around between the list of numbers at the bottom
of the screen. Just click on the desired question number.
Once the Score It button has been pressed, you can not return to
the Show Info or Show Help Screens.
There are also two arrow buttons on the bottom right hand corner of
the screen which allow you to move forward and backward through The
Clarke Tests.
SHOW HELP:
The Help button provides clues to help you in answering the
questions correctly. When you have finished viewing the Clue
press the Done button.
SHOW INFO:
The Info button provides a detailed answer for each question
including references. This is the Interactive Answer. When you
have finished viewing the study material press the Done button.
ANALYZING THE TEST RESULTS:
Open the Tracker Module by double clicking the Tracker Icon in
the Windows Program manager. You will see a blank screen with
menu choices across the top. Choose the File menu. Select Open.
A dialog box will appear. The tcsans.mdb file is a database
containing all your test results. Select the tcsans.mdb file
and select Open. When you open the database you will see a
detailed summary report.
NOTES:
1. The interactive test screen will fill your monitor if
the Windows driver is set to 640x480. It will not fill the
screen if it is set to 800x600 or above.
2. Optimal color contrast occurs at 256 colors and above.
3. Remember you can use <Ctrl><Esc> and "End Task" to end the
program.
4. If you are using a high-quality video driver (Viper VLB, for
example), it may support a "large font" mode for high-quality
text and graphics. This can cause very unpredictable results
with The Clarke Tests. Please avoid using "large fonts" mode
whenever possible.
