Simply select the lessonsyou wish to practice, the number of questions, and a time limit. The test wizard does the rest. A uniquetest is created to your specifications, and when you are done, the test is graded for you and you canview the results. Each question in the review even has a link to the related lesson, so it can beaccessed quickly and easily if you feel you need additional review in that topic.
With WebTest you can now take assigned tests over the internet. Simply select the test assigned byyour professor, enter your answers and submit your test. When you are done, you can immediatelyreview the results. Also, if your professor permits, you can save and print your exam for future review.
