SAM is the testing software used in CIS110 and CIS152 classes. It is capable of testing a student’s knowledge in Windows, Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint. It’s a task oriented program that tests a student’s ability to complete a task in the environment of the actual application. SAM also comes with a training tool. If a student needs help on a particular task, or application, they should click on the Training link on the menu on the left. This will launch the training and take the student on a guided tour through the application they choose. It is also possible to train only on questions answered incorrectly on an exam. The student should create a study-guide report. From this report, it can be determined which questions were missed. The opportunity to launch training is available for each question, whether it was answered incorrectly or not.
