Choosing Exam Options gives you plenty of options to help you fine tune your rough spots. How about a little math to warm up? Click Review Skill Area, and then the Math option. Choose the number of questions you want to review right now. Since this is a sample CBEST, the button for Writing (multiple-choice) is gray; CBEST doesn’t have multiple-choice writing questions. If you are taking a PPST or TASP, the Writing (multiple-choice) button will be active. On the left you can choose whether to wait until you’ve finished to see how you did (Final Review & Score) or have the computer tell you after each question whether your answer is right (Continuous Review & Score). Choose Retry incorrect responses to get a second chance at questions you answer wrong. (This option works best with Review Skill Area rather than Complete Test.) When you finish choosing your options, click OK. Then click the Start Exam button on the main exam screen. –HOW TO USE THE CD-ROM– 238 As you can see, diagrams are displayed any time a math problem calls for one. You can move the diagram window (or a passage for reading questions) by clicking on the bar at the top of the window and dragging to where you want it. You can also minimize the diagram window by clicking on the left box in the right corner. You can get the diagram back any time by clicking the Diagram button. Once you’ve responded to all ten of the questions, go back to Exam Options and select a Reading exam; then click on Start Exam. AutoExam makes it easy by displaying the reading passage in its own window, which always “rides on top” of the exam window, as seen above.You can scroll through the reading passage using the scroll bar on the right, or minimize the passage so you see only the question window. To get the passage back, click the Pas- sage button. –HOW TO USE THE CD-ROM– 239 Don’t forget about an essay or two for some good practice. Once again, click the Exam Options button, select the Essay setting, click Start Exam, and you’re on your way again. You have the option of writing out your essay by hand or using AutoExam’s built-in editor. This editor is a simple word processor that allows you to type, erase, cut and paste, and save. When you fin- ish writing your essay—by hand or on screen—click Done. After you have had a good dose of exams, why not check your progress? Simply click the Review Exams menu button (as seen on the first screen) and you can review your progress in detail and check your score.You can see how many questions you got right and how long each section took you, and review individual questions. Note that you can choose to have an explanation of the correct answer for each question pop up when you review that question. –HOW TO USE THE CD-ROM– 240 What’s that? No time to work at the computer?
