					<p>starQuiz is an easy-to-use software package that makes computerized testing easy. You can create quizzes with multiple choice, multiple select, true or false, short answer, fill in the blank, matching, and essay questions. Quizzes can include pictures, movies, web links, time limits, and more. And starQuiz makes it easy to give your quiz to students and view the results.</p>
<h3>Easy to use</h3>
<p class="indented">starQuiz makes it easy to create tests, give them to students, and view the results—all from one application. It uses the standard interface on each operating system (Windows, Macintosh, and Macintosh OS 9) so you don't have to adjust to a confusing internet-based interface. And built-in help assists you when you're having problems.</p>
<h3>Web-based testing</h3>
<p class="indented">With one click, you can upload your quiz to the web using the free quiz.cosmicsoft.net hosting service. Students don't need to install any special software to take the quiz; they can access it on the Internet using any standard web browser and see their scores immediately after taking the quiz.</p>
<h3>Prevent cheating</h3>
<p class="indented">No one wants to worry about cheating. starQuiz automatically randomizes the order of questions and the choices in multiple choice questions, stopping cheating before it starts—so you don't have to.</p>
<h3>Print quizzes</h3>
<p class="indented">If you prefer giving quizzes on paper, you can still print out a pre-formatted, complete quiz from the same set of questions—no retyping required. Just click "Print" to print out as many different forms of your quiz as you want, including answer keys that make grading very easy.</p>
<h3>Secure computer lab testing </h3>
<p class="indented">An alternative to web-based testing is computer-lab testing. Using the free starQuiz NetClient software, students can connect to a host computer and take a starQuiz quiz. All questions and answers are encrypted to ensure complete security.</p>
<h3>Results analysis and graphs</h3>
<p class="indented">It's easy to view and compare the results for all the students that took the quiz on the entire quiz or single questions. You can display the most-missed questions, compare answers between questions or students, and even add notes and give partial credit to students for answers.</p>

				<![CDATA[
				<img src="http://enscreenshots.softonic.com/s2en/52000/52730/2_acasci.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>Academia is an educational program designed for people interested in testing their academic skills. The program also functions as a supplement for high school and college students. The program's primary goal is to test a person's skills in these five subjects: English, mathematics, science, geography, and history. The lessons and tests encompass most of the topics that are introduced in high schools and colleges in the five subjects mentioned above.</p>
<p>This version of Academia features updated material in most of the tests, and the entire program itself has been completely revised and edited. Of notable mention is Books Central, which is an online manual that has reference material and step-by-step examples.  The program also features an updated custom dictionary and a timer.</p>
<p>With these updated tests and features, Academia can help you to set and reach your educational goals. For example, because each subject starts in the basic level, you have an opportunity to know right away where your strengths and weaknesses are. You may then decide to spend more time in the basic level or register the program and start the next level.</p>

		<title><![CDATA[ Memorization Master 1.0 - Phenomenal memory is not a gift, it's a skill ]]></title>
		<link>http://memorization-master.en.softonic.com</link>
		<description>
				<![CDATA[
				<img src="http://enscreenshots.softonic.com/s2en/55000/55388/2_memorizationmaster_chart.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>With the appearance of a precise memorization skills evaluation system, the quality of the formed memorization skills can be evaluated with high precision, up to 1/100.</p>
<p>Now anyone claiming that he can memorize things can sit before a computer and be tested. Thanks to the existence of a precise memorization skill control system in GMS, GMS can be transferred from the "additional education" status to the "precise disciplines" class. Standardization of GMS techniques and implementing precise result control methods is becoming vital.</p>
<p>"Memorization master" is specialized software and can only be used to test the memorization capacity of people who have completed special GMS technique study courses. The normative indexes are obtained through approving the system built into the program on a large number of people. Almost everyone who has finished the memorization study course can receive a "4". To obtain higher results students have to show perseverance in performing difficult tasks.</p>
<p>The "norm" index (grade 1) is easily examined in the introductory test. Sure, people who are not familiar with GMS will not be able to memorize numbers. What is more, they will not be able to memorize the sequences of terms, phone numbers, historical dates and similar data when they’re only shown once.</p>
<p>The present program tests the formed memorization skill in its pure form (the stage of encoding into images is omitted) and reflects the dynamics of thinking and the visual thinking processes.</p>
<p>Since one mental operation, the "Connection of images", is the foundation of every memorization technique, the ability to efficiently memorize a row of numbers at one go proves that the other information types will be memorized just as efficiently.</p>

		<title><![CDATA[ Principal's Pal 1.2 - Task scheduling application for principals and teachers ]]></title>
		<link>http://principals-pal.en.softonic.com</link>
		<description>
				<![CDATA[
				<img src="http://enscreenshots.softonic.com/s2en/54000/54838/2_MainScreen.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>How much time do you spend creating a conflict-free schedule each year? If you are like most principals, the answer is several days or even several weeks. Principal's Pal is here to turn a stressfull and lengthy ordeal into a simple and fast process.</p>
<p>With Principal's Pal the process is divided into four simple steps that in many cases will take less than half an hour. When Principal's Pal has all the information it needs, you can sit back and relax as it does the hard work for you. A few moments later, you will be ready to print schedules to give to your staff and students. </p>
<h3>Keeps teachers happy</h3>
<p class="indented">Principal's Pal allows you to set a minimum time that each teacher has every day uninterrupted, which allows them to count on a time of the day to tackle a longer or more difficult lesson.</p>
<h3>Conflict-free</h3>
<p class="indented">Principal's Pal won't create a schedule that forgets to schedule a class for P.E., or schedules a class for Art when the teacher isn't available. It will even allow you to make sure that classes with too many students aren't scheduled for a special class that doesn't have enough room.</p>
<h3>Easily updated</h3>
<p class="indented">If something has changed, simply open up your original schedule with Principal's Pal and update the information. It will automatically create a new schedule for you.</p>
<h3>Collaborative planning periods</h3>
<p class="indented">A popular thing to do is to schedule special classes at the same time for teachers of the same grade level so that those teachers can collaborate. Principal's Pal will automatically do this for you.</p>
<h3>Leaves time for more important things</h3>
<p class="indented">Let's face it, being a school administrator is not an easy job, and time is always precious. Principal's Pal will give you several days or even weeks of your time back to you to do more important things.</p>

		<title><![CDATA[ RocketReader 8.05 - Improve your reading speed and comprehension ]]></title>
		<link>http://rocketreader.en.softonic.com</link>
		<description>
				<![CDATA[
				<img src="http://enscreenshots.softonic.com/s2en/12000/12899/2_rocketreader.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>The reading enhancement techniques in RocketReader were developed in the 1990's by Dr. Simon Ronald, an artificial intelligence researcher who has authored numerous papers and articles on genetic algorithms and machine learning processes. RocketReader uses advanced artificial intelligence methods to put you in the learning zone; this makes you successful in the difficult task of breaking lifelong poor reading habits and mastering fast accurate reading techniques.</p>
<p>RocketReader significantly increases reading speed by breaking what is termed the "sub-vocalization barrier". This barrier limits most readers to around 200 words per minute as the reader reads each word or each syllable with a single eye movement. The aim of the RocketReader software is to train the eye and the brain to accurately read a single sentence or line of information with a single eye movement. This technique has been advocated by many successful speed reading books and seminars.</p>
<p>RocketReader improves your reading speed and comprehension with an effective combination of exercises, flash training, speed training, memory tests, practice readings and timed speed tests. After one month of using RocketReader for just 15 minutes a day, you can double your reading speed with significantly better comprehension, and recall of the facts.</p>
