This powerful piece of software incorporates several of the capabilities of the Wida/Eurocentre series; you can have, within the same file, a gap-filling activity, followed by a matching activity, which goes before a True / False, or a multiple choice activity. You can collate student answers, and analyse student-results, either on a student-by-student basis, or taking the entire class into account. It can be used to make 'catch-up' tests for students who were unable to take a test with the others in the class. Windows 2000, XP, Vista or Server 2003.
