KLearnNotes2 Key Words

First of all, in the following descriptions I will refer to two program states:

There are also two other terms which keep being repeated in these help files:

testnotes

these are notes selected for a TEST

  • at STOP - you see all testnotes ; you can select more or less of them using name checkboxes and range sliders (see below)

  • at TEST - you see one, randomly selected, testnote ; you should guess it's name and click appropriate namebutton

speed goal

this is suggested by the program; it is how fast you should answer

  • preset speed goals depend on whether you define yourself as a Prentice (the easiest, lowest speed goal), a Journeyman or a Wizard (the hardest, highest speed goal)

  • you can also specify your own custom speed goals

  • actual speed goal depends on number of active namebuttons (notes' names to choose from); this is because it is physically more difficult to find appropriate button to click;

    the bigger the number of active namebuttons the lower speed goal

During a TEST you can watch how well you are doing out of the corner of your eye, without loosing focus from the staff because

  • if your answering speed is bigger than the speed goal it will be displayed in a green frame

  • if your answering speed is smaller than the speed goal it will be displayed in a red frame.

Remember that accuracy of answers is always more important than speed which will build up in time. If you are just starting and make a lot of mistakes simply ignore speed goal and focus on answering right.

But speed is important after all. The idea is to give automatic, thoughtless answers. Try to answer faster and faster. And if you make 1 mistake during 80-questions test - don't slow down. Rather pay more attention to the note you erred about.
