Book 1
Instructions for Use
Use the tests below to prepare for weekly tests, important exams, or just have fun monitoring your progress whenever you like.
Type the English in the textboxes provided. You must type in EXACTLY what it says in the book (including BOTH answers where there are 2), or the program will not recognise your answer as correct. This means that your SPELLING, SPACING etc. must be SPOT ON!! You must also use question marks, exclamation marks etc. where they appear in the book.
When you've tried all the questions, click 'Calculate score so far'. You'll be told your score, which answers are wrong, and what the computer thinks of your performance! (It's NOT a good idea to check your score BEFORE finishing the test, as all the blank squares will be marked wrong!)
The tests get gradually harder as you gain in experience:
- Checklists 1 and 2 have all their words in the same order as they appear in the book, whereas later tests mix them up.
- There are 2 tests for each checklist from 3 onwards, because there are more words to learn. From checklist 5 onwards, the lists are divided into 2 distinct halves.
- From checklist 4 onwards, there are 2 simple tests with 'words only' (no special endings) and then 1 or more 'Grammar Tests' where you can practise endings too.
- In the Grammar tests, you must still enter both alternative meanings where relevant. The program will only accept present tenses in this form: 'I call' (not 'I am calling'). For 'you' forms, do not specify 'singular' or 'plural'; for 'he/she/it' just type 'he'. utinam sis felix!
