Can mac.appstorm.net post apps that help to make multiple choice exams. Smth more professional than cram as this app is more for personal study.

I am officially a senior citizen and collecting Social Security. I figure I can create testing flash cards, etc. to help keep my mind sharp, so hopefully, I can keep dementia at bay. Did I mention I want to help keep dementia at bay? Why am i typing this again?

What I miss is the opportunity to create the tests and then have them forwarded and filled in by ’students, and the results to come back to me.
A runtime for Cram should then be given for free to the ’students,.

Then I ‘d pay even more …

It’s actually a wonderful piece of software. The only thing is it’s developer has stopped developing it.

I loved it while I used it though, it only had minor issues/gripes.

Yet another free alternative is Schoolhouse. It says it’s a homework manager, which it mainly is, but it can also be used for studying. It is a very nice, in-depth app that every student should have.

We are sorry you feel this way about Cram for iPhone.

We have received high marks from CNET for Cram iPhone (4 out of 5) and MacWorld said”…for creating multiple-choice tests, Cram cannot be beat.”

We hope you get a chance to actually try both Cram for Mac and iPhone and see how well they sync and help you test.

Thanks for your feedback.

The ‘STUDENTDISCOUNT’ code, takes off an additional 15% ($29.74). We have also fixed the purchase/download link for Cram iPhone.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info! Do you know how much the app is with the discount?

How much does the application cost with the students discount? (The ‘Buy’ link on SimpleLeap’s homepage is not working.)

I think the iPhone App’s interface is rubbish – it seems not to be user friendly and not worked out very well. In addition to that, there’s not even a lite version for the iPhone.

All things, that won’t make me use this application. :-(

There is a discount code available for this app:

STUDENTDISCOUNT

It also works with the iPhone/iPod Touch, so it will automatically sends your tests and flashcards to your phone.

I’d second taking a look at Keep Your Word – it’s a great application for vocab learning.

The application is interesting, I would really like to see how it could improve my personal studying process, but I think it’s just too expensive for what it does. At $34.99 I better write the tests myself on NeoOffice ^^

I am the developer, so I am a bit biased, but may I suggest another alternative, named Keep Your Word (http://www.bambooapps.com/kyw) focused on vocabulary learning?

Another free alternative (although not nearly as in-depth) is Genius. I used it a fair bit the last couple of years of college; if you’re a flashcard nut like me, it’s useful.
