===== Product Description, Long ========================

True Multiple-Choice - The Game v3.0 - The high scoring test
strategy from True Multiple-Choice. A game for kids (state capitals)
and for adults (politics). Score at five levels of thinking. A
winning game strategy for your highest test grades. Learn to take
tests. Learn to write tests. Learn to win. Practice by challenging
other students with your current course work.

Capitals are selected from nearby states, nearby capitals, and other
cities in the state. The political charateristics of Republicans and
Democrates make an example of reducing a complex matter into simple
terms using all right answers from one point of view or another.
Both sets of questions can be edited and extended.

Registration turns True Multiple-Choice - (The Game) into True
Multiple-Choice - (Light), a manual version of True Multiple-Choice,
the test-writing and study-skill program for students, parents and
teachers. With (Light) new files can be created and played.

A diagnostic student answer record can be saved to disk or printed.
This shows what a student knows and how well the student is aware of
what is known: judgment.  There are two other programs in this
series on scoring for knowledge and judgment rather than just
ranking students for grades. OLYMPIAD is for contest scoring.
TRAINER is for scoring class tests, both traditionally and for
knowledge and judgment, on the same test, so students can see for
themselves which is better: guessing or reporting.


===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================

Welcome to True Multiple-Choice - (The Game), an
application of scoring by knowledge and judgment
(quantity and quality).  This free game version
contains the five levels of thinking and game
scoring.  The files can be edited for your state
and political characteristics that interest you.

A registration key converts (The Game) into True
Multiple-Choice - (Light), a manual version of
True Multiple Choice.  The test writer and study
skill builder for teachers, parents and students.

Part of the VENDINFO.DIZ file is also a part of the
