What do the test settings mean?

Selection

Complete	This is the default 'Selection'. All questions appear in the test.
Previously made mistakes	All questions are included that were answered wrong once.
Make a selection	It is possible to make a selection. This is used for small subsets of a big list. The selection screen will be displayed. To make a selection fast, use the arrow buttons and the space bar to select/unselect questions.
Top 10 problem questions	The ten most difficult questions of the list. This number can be modified in the settings dialog.
Random selection of 10 questions	Make a real test, to see if you know the list well-enough. Teach2000 selects ten questions randomly.
Only newly added questions	If you added questions to the test, you can practice them only by setting this option.
Leave questions you already memorized	If a question has been answered correctly four times in a row, it won't appear in the test when this option is set.

Ask

Question-answer	Like Swedish – English.
Answer-question	Like English - Swedish.
Both ways	A mix of Question-answer and Answer-question.

Order

Regular order	Questions are presented in the same order in which they were entered. When questions are sorted, the questions are presented in that order.
Random order	Questions are presented at random.
Backwards	Questions are presented in reversed order. Sorting is taken into account here also.

Type

Show as Screensaver	The first step in the learning process. Just look at the questions and their answers.
Normal	The default test: plain question/answer questions.
Puzzle	The answer is shredded by a meat grinder. It is your job to solve the puzzle!
Multiple-choice	To start memorizing the list, it is recommended to start with a multiple-choice quiz. You can click on the right answer with your mouse. Teach2000 has two types of multiple-choice questions. One that selects similar answers and one that selects random answers.
Flashcard Quiz	It is easier to do a flashcard quiz. The question is shown and you must try to find the answer. Typing it is not important now. To cancel the quiz press 'Cancel'.
Writing Test	Another type of test is 'dictation'. The answer is shown for a number of seconds, and you have to copy it.
Space Invaders	Try the game Space Invaders.
Method 'The English Teacher'	This is the most difficult type of test. Every wrong key pressed, immediately leads to a wrong answer. In this way it is not possible to learn wrong prepositions, for example.

Repetition

Interval training (Paul Pimsleur)	According to linguistics, an interval training (Spaced repetition) is the best way to memorize a list.
Repeat errors	Repeat questions that were answered incorrect until they are answered correctly. Questions that were answered incorrectly will be placed at the end of the list.
Repeat	Repeat the test over-and-over.
No repetition	Present the questions only once, regardless of the answer.

Match

Exact	The given answer must be an exact match to the answer in the list. This is the tightest form of control.
Ignore case	The use of uppercase / lowercase in the given answer are not taken into account when determining the correctness of the answer.
Ignore punctuation marks	The use of punctuation marks in the given answer is not taken into account when determining the correctness of the answer.
Ignore word order	The word order of the given answer is not taken into account.
Ignore numbers	Numbers are not taken into account.
Ignore accents	Accents are not taken into account.
Ignore spaces	Spaces are not taken into account.
Ignore text between brackets	The text between brackets is not taken into account.
