[CVRC] Announcing a new Website -- www.HamTestOnline.com

Fri, 30 Aug 2002 10:09:37 -0700

This is a commercial test practice site.  $20 for two years with free 
trial.  It offers more features than QRZ.com and comes close to the $50 
functionality of the commercial computer programs like W5YI.

I have no personal or financial interest in this site, but it seemed like 
it might be useful to some.

73, Dick

Dear CVRC webmaster:

I notice that you have a link to the QRZ practice exams on your Website.  I
have recently launched a Website that provides online, computer-based
training for the amateur exams.  I'm hoping that you will add a link from
your Website to mine.

My new Website offers several advantages over randomly generated, simulated
tests:
-- It keeps track in its database of which questions each student has seen,
has learned, and gets right or wrong.  It presents questions to students
based on their individual needs, providing appropriate repetition -- more
frequent repetition in weak areas, and infrequent repetition of learned
items.
-- It provides instant feedback, which is a better learning model than
waiting until after you have answered 35 or 50 questions.
-- It presents questions in a logical order, with simpler questions first,
and building up to the more complex questions that depend on them.
-- For many questions, it provides added explanatory information beyond what
is contained in the question pools.

I don't see my site as replacing the practice tests.  I hope many students
will use my site to learn the material, and then use the simulated test
sites to get used to the testing environment and boost their confidence for
the real thing.
