Main Features
Some of the key features of the program are:
- Exhaustive Database - Thousands of questions are stored on the CD and additional questions are available for download.
- Adaptive Learning Technology - The questions are divided into various topics. Each topic contains questions at three levels of complexity. The program tracks your child's success rate in all the topics and selects questions to match their ability. As the child gets better at a particular topic, the program selects more complex questions.
- Progress Reports - the program provides immediate, visual feedback for the child, parents, teachers and interested persons in the form of progress charts. The charts display the success rate and the time taken to complete questions for each topic.
- Hints and Solutions - On request, the program provides hints on how to answer a question. There are worked solutions to each question so the child may compare their answers to the worked solution to determine where they made any mistakes.
- Electronic Scratch Pad - Students can perform their working of the questions on the computer using the electronic scratch pad. There is no longer the need to have additional scratch paper on hand.
