This is one of the worst educational programs I have seen for a while. It is boring, uninspiring and represents the worst teaching possible.

The program drills the student with questions against the clock. The inlay claims "three great games". They are Time Limit Test, i.e. each question has a limited answer time; Mindmaster, a one-minute test with you answering as many as possible, and Examination where you choose the number of questions and the computer sets the time limit.

There is also a "browse" facility to familiarise you with the questions (and answers). If you regard these as "great" then this could be for you - but I doubt it.

There is an "incentive" to do well; you could be awarded a "CO-CO-NUT" if you get to the oasis (O'aces, get it?) but the graphics are so crude as to be laughable.

The worst feature is that this claims to test physics. Science is about discovery and it is very sad to see a subject reduced to this.

One final criticism: you cannot enter your own questions - and although there are 100 questions this is rather poor.
