A game for kids (state capitals) and for adults (politics). Score at five levels of thinking. A winning game strategy for your highest test grades. Learn to take tests. Learn to write tests. Learn to win. Practice by challenging other students with your current course work. Capitals are selected from nearby states, nearby capitals, and other cities in the state. The political charateristics of Republicans and Democrates make an example of reducing a complex matter into simple terms using all right answers from one point of view or another. Both sets of questions can be edited and extended. Registration turns True Multiple-Choice - (The Game) into True Multiple-Choice - (Light), a manual version of True Multiple-Choice, the test-writing and study-skill program for students, parents and teachers. With (Light) new files can be created and played. A diagnostic student answer record can be saved to disk or printed. This shows what a student knows and how well the student is aware of what is known: judgment. There are two other programs in this series on scoring for knowledge and judgment rather than just ranking students for grades. OLYMPIAD is for contest scoring. TRAINER is for scoring class tests, both traditionally and for knowledge and judgment, on the same test, so students can see for themselves which is better: guessing or reporting. ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================ Welcome to True Multiple-Choice - (The Game), an application of scoring by knowledge and judgment (quantity and quality). This free game version contains the five levels of thinking and game scoring. The files can be edited for your state and political characteristics that interest you. A registration key converts (The Game) into True Multiple-Choice - (Light), a manual version of True Multiple Choice. The test writer and study skill builder for teachers, parents and students.
