--------------------
PC Study Guide has many useful features, their use will be listed and explained below:

* Reverse Question/Answer - You can have PC Study Guide reverse the question with the answer. This will change things up for you so that you learn the topics forwards and backwards. This feature is especially useful when learning things such as foreign languages, capitols of countries/states, element symbols on the periodic table, and much more...

* Repeat Questions - This feature will allow PC Study Guide to ask the same question more than once, useful for studying new information. Or you can choose to have PC Study Guide only ask each question once to prevent the same question being asked twice(or more), this is useful for testing purposes.

* Display Answers - When taking a test or studying, you can have PC Study Guide display whether or not you answered correctly or incorrectly after submitting each answer. When you answer incorrectly, PC Study Guide will display the correct answer for you, to help you remember. Having the answers displayed after each question is especially useful when studying new subjects.

* Show Summary - After completing a test, you can choose to have PC Study Guide create a Summary file for you so that you can view or print your results on each question that was asked. This is useful for teachers so that they may grade their students on their results or for the student/parent to keep up with their progress.

* Case-Sensitive - You can choose to have PC Study Guide ask for the exact spelling, punctuation and capitalization of the answer. If you select this option, 'cat' will not be the same answer as 'Cat', 'cAT', 'cAt', etc. If you turn the case-sensitive option off, 'cat will be treated the same as 'CAT' or 'caT' etc.

* Sound Effects - This feature allows you to turn the PC Study Guide sound effects on or off. Turning them off may be necessary for certain situations in which noise should be kept to a minimum.

* Study Guide Creator/Editor - With this you can edit/delete existing tests or create new ones from your own questions and answers! Whenever there is something you need to learn or want to study, create a test on it and master the subject.

* Open Response - This feature allows you to add open response questions to your tests. These types of questions are great for foreign languages and definitions. The Reverse Question/Answer and add multiple answers apply to this type of question.

* Multiple Answers - With PC Study Guide you can add multiple answers to a single question. To do this, separate each answer with "-^-", without the quotes. (Example: red-^-blue-^-yellow ) In this example, the user could answer red, blue, or yellow to get a correct response.

* Fill in the Blank - Using this feature allows you to enter fill in the blank questions for completing sentences. This feature is great for tests and general studying.

* Multiple Choice - This feature allows you to add a multiple choice question to your tests. You input one correct answer with three other wrong answers to a question. During the test, the four choices will be randomized so there is no predictability to the questioning.

* True/False - You can now enter true or false questions to your tests! These are awesome for questions that have only 2 answers but you don't want to take a chance of the user mistyping 'True' or 'False' and getting the question wrong. These are also a great option to add to tests.

* Add a Picture - You can add your own pictures to your questions for greater possibilities. Combine this feature with your questions to make them even more unique.

* When creating a Study Guide File, the editor has been known to remove the last character from the answer. So after creating a test, reopen it to make sure that all answers were saved correctly.
