Creating exams in EarMaster

[brennon]

I have EarMaster School 5, and I would like to use it to give exams in an ear-training course. I have a couple of questions about this:

1. Is there a way to force students to only do a lesson once? I only want to know their results from their first attempts on each lesson.

2. Is there a way to create a specific path through a tutor? In a testing situation, it's very clunky that you have to click from exercise area to exercise area--especially for users that haven't used EarMaster. I'd like the "exam" to automatically move to the lesson in the next exercise area when users have completed their one and only attempt in the current lesson.

3. Is there a way in the tutor editor to group a lessons from various exercise areas together? When opening a tutor, I like the menu that lets you "scroll" through lessons in the current exercise area, but this menu is really confusing to users when I only have one lesson in a handful of exercise areas. I'd actually like this menu to display each single lesson from each exercise area. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Brennon

Hello Brennon,

1. It is not possible to limit a lesson to one single attempt. However, each attempt by a student will be saved in the results as a specific entry, which will make it easy for you to identify the original first attempt.

2 & 3. This is not possible to gather several exericses areas into one continuous series of lessons yet. However, this feature will be included in EarMaster 6, which should be released by the end of 2010 if all goes as expected.
