    Becker Question –

    It really irritates me that when I do questions in progress mode I cant choose to have answers displayed to me upon answering the questions.

    FAR - 76*, 73, 85
    BEC - 69, 72, 78*, 80
    AUD - 72, 71, 90
    REG - 71, 74, 85

    AFTER 3 YEARS I'M DONE!!!

    Me too – I rely on the progress tests quite a bit and wish it would show the answer right away. Jeff's Ninja MCQ does so I rely on the Ninja MCQs quite a bit instead of the becker now for progress testing. I know that I can always just redo the homework sections in becker if I want to see the answer right away, but I really prefer a more random MCQ pattern that I can do quickly (rather than a full section of homework). Anther thing I do if working a progress test in Becker is limit the questions to 5 per section (i.e. in AUD or BEC, since there are only 6 sections, I do a progress test of 30) so that the questions are still fresh enough in my mind that I get some benefit out of the review.

    I wonder how hard it would be to write the program to allow students to choose a mode (see answers right away vs. wait till all over).

    I was able to see the answers on the progress test (2012 version) by hitting print after every question. I can’t do the same on the 2014 version. Does anyone know how to see the answers?

    I actually like the way the progress test does NOT show you the answer, since that's how it will be on the actual exam anyway.

    What I DON'T like in the progress test is that the questions aren't randomized. They are in the exact order of the chapters, so you kinda know which topic they're testing by which question you're on in the progress test. That's not cool.

    I use WIley to get randomized questions in progress tests – and Wiley shows you the answers as you answer the question.

    FAR - 86 - 2/27/14
    AUD - 75 - 5/29/14
    BEC - 80 - 8/31/14
    REG - 89 - 2/27/15

    If you do it online (ONLINE ONLY), then like someone else says, press print and it shows you the answer.
