When the Application Starts

The main page allows you to select the type of test you want to do. Just select the row in the table and the page will change to show that test type.

Times Table Page

On this page you can select to practice one of the standard times tables from 1 to 12. Just select the row in the table and the page will change to show that times table ready for you to fill in the answers.

You can also select to practice any times table up to the 99 times table. Just select the field at the top and using the keyboard enter the number of the times table to be practiced. The page will change to show the times table for the number specified.

Specific Times Table

This is the page you will see if you had selected to practice your nine times table. The list of times to be tested runs from 0 to 12 rather than 1 to 12. It is important to learn that any number mulitplied by zero is always zero. The inclusion of zero times re-inforces this every time a times table is practiced.

To enter the answer for a row just select the row where the triple question marks are. The display will change to show the times to be done and a keyboard where the answer can be entered.

Enter the answer using the numbers of the keyboard and press OK. The keyboard is disappear the and the list of times to be done is shown again. If you have answered the question correctly then the icon to the right will change to a green tick and the number correct will increase. If you have answered incorrectly then the icon will change to a red cross.

Aritmetic Tests Page

On this page you can select to practice either your Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication or Division skills.

You select at the top how hard you want the tests to be. Be warned the easy tests are very easy and the very hard tests are very hard. You can also select how many questions you want by selecting the number of questions field and entering the value using the keyboard.

Hard Multiplications

This screenshot shows a set of Hard Multiplications. As you can see they all involve reasonably large numbers and some of those numbers are negative.

Just like the times table page select the triple questions marks for the row and answer the question using the keyboard. The icon to the right will show you whether you have got it right or not.

Analog Clock Test

Medium shows clock faces with only the 12, 3, 6, and 9 hours on it will have times that are to the minute.

Hard shows no hour marks and shows times to the minute. It is not easy and is not meant to be.

Easy Clocks

Just like all the other select the triple question marks to answer the question. Unlike all the others the clocks uses words to describe the answers.
