Student Aid is a program designed exclusively for students.  It works
to help you remember by the principle of continuous repetition, and by
allowing the computer to give you instant feedback.

The program will allow you to enter school (or just general trivia)
questions into a test. Which can then be reviewed (studied) by selecting
"Take test!!!". In a random sequence the questions are given and
if you answer wrong - instant feedback of the correct choice can be
given to you (when selecting VERBOSE WHY mode) or you can quickly move
on to the next question (QUICK WHY mode).

Through this continuous repetition you should begin to remember and
(hopefully) a point will be reached when you have learned all the
questions and are ready for the real test/exam.

Assuming you have some idea what kind of questions out of the book(s), or
previous quizzes the instructor will ask - It should work.  The hard part
is to be enter the data. However, this process does aid in the review!
and you may be able to find similar questions to use from a friend who
might have entered them or maybe even one of our pre-made test disks.

Each area has its own set of gadgets which can be activated either by
left mousebutton or by pressing the key that is underlined.

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.

[L]oad - This option will load a test from disk

[S]ave - This will prompt you for a test name, and description (Default
  will be the current name) and then save that to disk.

[V]iew Grades - After you take a test, your 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 area begins the test/quiz process. Before this option
  can be executed a student aid test must have been loaded.

[E]dit test - This is 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 - Here you can print selected questions to a print file or
  directly to printer. You can also print an answer sheet of those
  questions.

[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.
