AnswerQuest Pro makes life easier for teaching staff and AnswerQuest Home does the same for parents.

In a nutshell, AnswerQuest enables parents to create exercises semi-automatically. It enables their children to do these exercises on a PC, it will review the results objectively and present the results back to the parents.

Like in AnswerQuest Lite a 'Practice ' mode is available, but this time the full range is available, i.e. tables up to 19 and additions/subtractions from -999 to +999.

It is quick and easy to create exercises. A typical 20 question exercise for simple numeric algebra can be generated in as little as 1 minute, as the system generates both the questions and the answers. Questions and answers can be easily controlled and amended if needed. The numeric algebra generator is the most flexible available on the market today.

In the smallest setup the system can generate numeric algebra and textual exercises. Numeric algebra lets you generate 'sums' : additions, subtractions, divisions and multiplications (and any combination of these). A textual exercise lets you enter ANY type of textual questions and answers on ANY subject. Further modules are being developed to cover other media types such as Sounds and Images. These extra modules can be added as and when required. The system supports 'open' questions as well as 'multiple choice' .

All exercises are re-usable, so once a test has been created it can be used over and over again.

Exercises are portable between PCs. You can create exercises at home and share them with friends, family or anyone else who has AnswerQuest available.

Likewise, this version of AnswerQuest is able to read AnswerQuest Homework files so it can be used for electronic homework. If your child's school has its own website it could post its homework there, alternatively tests and results could be distributed via e-mail or plain floppy disk. A number of example tests are available for free download from our free stuff web page.

The system will mark test results very fast and totally objective. Typically it takes less than 5 seconds to calculate the results for a particular test.

Access for all users can be restricted by means of password protection, so children can be stopped from 'doing' eachother's tests or viewing eachother's results if needed. Nobody can make changes to given answers.

The programs have been optimised for 'older' PC hardware (486 CPU upwards) and will run on Windows 3.1, Windows'95 and Windows'98. This means that 'old' PCs are given a new lease of life and the expense of having to buy the latest new PC can be deferred or avoided altogether.This also means that performance is exceptionally good on the more powerful Pentium based PC's.

Clear, useful Help information is available on every screen, to guide less experienced users (children as well as adults ! ).

AnswerQuest is a tool, a means to an end. While the users are concentrating on the end result (creating/taking/marking tests) they are unwittingly gaining valuable computer skills, as AnswerQuest operates in a fashion very similar to many of todays commercial business applications. Keyboard and Mouse skills are improved as well as familiarity with the 'look and feel' of commercial applications.

AnswerQuest Home is priced at £25, this is in English Pounds and includes all Taxes and 3 months Telephone Support
