Not that great August 25, 2008

2 out of 4 found this review helpful
One quiz question had the correct answer listed twice, but only one would mark correctly. The software is not easy to use, and comes with no help or directions, and if you run it on Vista, the help buttons do not work. I wish I had bought something else.
