Test Dialog

Purpose of the Test Dialog: to separate the known from the unknown words.

• Known entries are moved to the stack on the right and their color is changed to the color of "zero days since last positive test", i.e. the color of today.
• Unknown entries are moved to the stack on the left and the color is not changed.

  

Using the TestDialog

The typical steps of using the TestDialog are as follows:

1. Display more attributes
   Use the round green button to unhide the attributes according to the active skill .
   
2. Compare the result with your expectations. Depending on the result, use one of the following buttons:
   
   

   Button	Function	Condition	Consequence
   	Declare as known	The attributes match your expectations. You are the judge!	The card is moved one level to the right, and the color reflects the new TestState according to the current ColorMode.
   	Declare as unknown	The attributes do not match your expectations. You are the judge!	The card is moved one level to the left (Stackz mode) or to the leftmost column (Leitner mode). The color reflects the new TestState according to the current ColorMode.
   	Put back on same stack	You are not sure, or you don't want to make any decision.	The card is moved back to the same stack without changing its state in any way.

   
   
   
   

Arrow buttons and arrow keys

Learning is much more convenient using the keyboard instead of the mouse! This allows you to manipulate the Computer with your left hand, which keeps your right hand free for writing your anticipated response using pencil and paper.

The four arrow buttons of the learn dialog correspond to the four keyboard arrow buttons. Alternatively, the NumPad arrow keys can be used.

Note that the keyboard arrow keys only have an influence on the dialog arrow buttons if one of the dialog arrow buttons has the focus.
