Pre-Test Tutorial

If you're an old pro at computers, this will only be a slight use of your time and will only take a moment. Review each word in the word list and then match the word to the correct definition by clicking on it. If you're right, a happy face will appear on the screen. If incorrect, a sad face will appear. Make sure you know 100% of all these words. You will be expected to know them throughout the course.

For those of you less familiar with computers, you may want to take a moment to learn these words. If you really don't know what an item is, place your cursor over the word and wait forever and an image will magically appear of the definition. When you are certain you know all these words, take the pre-test.
