Issues & Solutions

 

TestCheck is a cross-platform learning information system designed to better assist students throughout the learning process.  With TestCheck, you may generate worksheets and exercises that are student specific, as well as track student progress through the electronic Record Book and reports.

The TestCheck versions are 2.13 and 3.1 and 3.3. 

 

To determine your version, start the program and click on Help, then About.  Or, check the date on the CD.  If the year is year 03 (such as 06/03) then it is version 3.1.  If the year is 04 then you probably have version 3.3. If the year is 02 or earlier, then it is version 2.13.

This Help file includes Contemporary Mathematics in Context, Assessment and Maintenance and Worksheet Builder dated 08/03. For earlier version of this software please see the IPS Testmaker Help file
