If you are not using Account Mode, you first need to create a new pupil file or choose one that you've previously created from the main window. Otherwise skip to Choosing a Drill.
New Pupil
For a new Pupil click the I'm A New Pupil… button.
If you create a new Pupil you will be prompted to choose a Class and type your name, and if Pupil passwords are required, you will be asked to provide a password. Your name can even be your full name if your full name is not more than 31 characters. Otherwise you can use initials.
Choose Existing Pupil
All existing pupils can be found by clicking the Choose My Pupil… button.
From the left column, select your Class, from the right column select your name (or Pupil file name) and then click “OK”.
Choose your test by clicking the Choose Drill… button.
From the left column, choose the Unit, then choose the Drill from the right column and then click “OK”. Beginner typists should choose the numbered unit of the keyboard they want to learn.
Speed Goal, Timed Drill and Introduction
Progressive units have speed goals built-in. Other drills allow you to set your own speed goal.
Timed drills may help add structure to the process of taking drills and aid in reaching your speed goal. If the time exceeds the length of the drill, the drill content is repeated until the time is expired. With Timed Drill off, the drill is a fixed length instead of fixed time. For the most part you may want to avoid timed drills for progressive units. Some drills may actually get easier and your speed may increase during the drill making it easier to achieve mastery.
If you choose the Introduction checkbox, you will receive an overview of seating posture and finger positions before starting the Drill.
Start the Drill
Press the Start The Drill button.
