Type of program: drill and practice

Producer: Eknath Kadam

Year produced: 2009

Subject Area: general science

Description of program:

The program consists of mixed test which has questions from all topics. Questions are presented randomly from all the topics, the areas of science we touch on include:
• Physics
• Chemistry
• Biology
• Zoology
• Earth
• Inventions
• Space.

A summary of the practice test is presented at the end of each test. It shows you the time you took, the score, which questions you answered correctly and where you were wrong. And yes, you can E-EMAIL the results.

The app records your progress as you start quizzing yourself.
It shows you a beautiful bar chart so that you can track your weak areas and give more focus on them.

The slick user interface allows you to choose from possible answers.
You don't need to press too many buttons or encounter any alert messages.
The app is very interactive and needs minimum user input, shake your iPhone/iPod to skip a question.
