The Tester

Options, options, options...

The Tester is the primary memorization tool in MemoryMan. Since most of us do not have a photographic memory, the only real way to memorize something is to repeat it...enough times to make a connection to our long-term memory synapses.

The Tester is designed to make this repetition as simple as possible, giving you many options. Listed below are the many testing options.

Click HERE for General Memorization Tips that can dramatically decrease the number of repetitions and increase your retentions.

The Table below lists and explains each highlighted option.

Name	Icon / Options	Description
Test Level	Reset	Reset restores the verse to normal, showing all words.
	Level	Moves between levels and shows the current level. Each level hides approximately 20% more words than the previous. Level 5 hides all words.

First Character	Show First Character	During the test, setting the "Show First Character" option leaves the first letter of every word exposed. This is a good way to start a verse. After going through the 5 test levels with the first letter showing, try it again without the letter showing.
	Hide First Character

Difficulty Level		Automatically sets the other test options as follows:
		level	errors	helps	letters	order
		easy	unlimited	30%	1st only	1st only
		medium	10%	10%	50%	any
		hard	10%	1	90%	any
		expert	2	0	90%	word
		Custom is selected whenever a user changes any options to something other than easy, medium, hard or expert.

Letter Order		Determines / sets how letters types are accepted. If "Letters can be typed in any order" is selected, then the word "Forever" could be typed as "Forveer" without any errors. This allows for flexibility especially for younger users.

Letters Needed		Determines / Sets how many letters you need to type to complete a word. Set to "Only 1st Letter..." or "1st 2 letters" for younger users. Setting to 100% will also improve typing and spelling skills.

Error Settings		Sets the number of errors allowed per level of testing. The percentage options set the number of errors based on the number of words in the verse. With 100 words in a verse, a setting of 10% allows 10 errors. This seems like a high number, but for poor typists, its helpful. MemoryMan is also smart about ignoring silly errors. For example, its common when completing the word "faith" to type an f even if the first f is already showing. MemoryMan will not count that against you. When you have exceeded your errors, the Tester asks you if you want to start over.

Helps Allowed		Clicking the down arrow or the underlined number displays the menu. Sets the number of helps allowed per level of testing. The percentage options works like the error options above. How you get a help, and what kind of help is determined by clicking on the "Helps out of" label, explained below.

Types of Helps		Clicking the label "Helps out of" displays this menu. Sets the type of help and how you get it. The first 3 options set how many words are displayed when you right click a hidden word. For example, right-clicking (the right-most mouse button) on the word "for" in Ephesians 2:8-9 above, will yield a 5 word list of 3 letter words to choose from (if 5 word choices is chosen). This gives a help without giving the word away. Double clicking on a word can complete the word or complete the next letter for you. The enter key can optionally be used to duplicate the double-click behavior.
