The Quiz Wizard guides you through the steps to prepare a quiz.
First, you choose a quiz from one of four SOURCES:
Quizzes: Select one of the hundreds of predefined quizzes that are included with the program.
Click the plus sign in front of a category to expand the list and show all quizzes in that group.
Locations: Select a state or province to be quizzed on the birds of that region.
Groups: Select a taxonomical group such as family or order.
Custom Lists: Select one of the quizzes you created.
Then you choose one of four TYPES of quizzes:
Multiple Choice: See the bird and select the correct name from five choices.
Fill-in-the-Blank: Type in the name of the bird
Flash Cards: See and hear the bird – guess its name before the answer appears
Pick One: See one bird’s name and four images – guess which image is that bird
After choosing from the source and type you can either take the quiz using existing settings or revise the settings. If you decide to revise the settings, two more screens appear that let you control several options, such as:
The level of difficulty.
Whether you want to be quizzed on the common names or scientific (Latin) names or both.
Depending on the source you clicked, what you want to see and hear when taking the quiz (for example, photograph, sound recording, video, map).
Whether you want the species on the quiz to be in the same sequence each time you take the quiz or to randomize (shuffle) them each time.
Whether you want the quiz to loop (continue playing until you tell it to stop – very useful with Flash Card quizzes).
The combinations you can set up are almost endless and the options are flexible, but the process is easy.
