1. Purpose

AptiQuiz is a test making, test taking and test grading application that lets
examiners securely generate, update and administer unique tests, while easily
and accurately maintaining scores.

AptiQuiz makes it easy to create and maintiain tests, and helps to ensure
secure test-taking by randomizing both the order of the questions presented
and the order of the questions' distracters.  Tests can have up to 500
questions, and AptiQuiz supports True/False, Yes/No, Multiple Choice and Fill-
in-the-Blank type questions with up to six possible distracters per question.
Tests can be administered on the computer, or on paper.

The shareware evaluation copy is fully functional for 30 days.  AptiQuiz runs
under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP and is offered at a limited
introductory price of only $44.95.  Multiple copy discounts are available, as
are discounts for educational institutions, law enforcement organizations,
fire departments, hospitals with full emergency care services, and all NATO
military units.


2. Installation

To install AptiQuiz, simply run the InstallAptiQuiz.exe setup program from
the directory it was extracted to - even if you are replacing an older
version.  You will be prompted for an installation directory; the default
is "C:\Program Files\AptiQuiz\" and should be used in most cases.  Full
installation and uninstall software is included.
