Knightlite Software has upgraded our Fire Fighter 1 and 2 study software to version 3.0. In version 3.0, we have combined both level 1 and level 2 into a single, easy-to-use software package.

Signal 102 FFI/II Study Helper was created to achieve three purposes.

1) As A Study Helper for the fire fighter currently taking Fire Fighter I or Fire Fighter II

2) As A Review Tool for experience fire fighters to keep their fire fighting knowledge up
to date.

3) As A Teaching Aid for the department's training officer.

Features:

The Questions - There are over 800 questions in the registered software package (Internet Version has 202 questions). Since questions in Level 1 and Level 2 overlap each other, we have included both levels in this version. The default settings in this software will display questions from both levels at the same time. The user can easily set the software to display only FF1 or FF2 questions. Because of the nature of the curriculum there are more FF1 questions than there are FF2. That is not to say that you will not see questions we have in the FF1 section asked on a FF2 test. Because the assignment of the questions to a particular level is somewhat subjective, we have given the user the ability to change any question's level assignment.

User Control - As with all Knightlite Software, our focus has always been on giving the user as many ways to manipulate the questions as possible. We have added many new features to this version of Signal 102 with the sole purpose of making it easier for the user to learn the material. The following are some of the enhancements we have added.

Enhancements:

1) Page References to the IFSTA text for easy look up of questions. Space on the notes pages to add your own comments, or notes to questions.

2) The ability to search the database for key words. Example - Search for extinguisher - Returns all the questions which contain the word extinguisher.

3) Keeps track of your progress three ways. Signal 102 has three ways to track your mistakes. In one module you can list questions that you incorrectly answered in the past. Once you answer the question correctly it clears that question from it's memory. The elephant mode never forgets your incorrectly answered questions until you clear the memory yourself. This allows you to drill on difficult questions. Once you have mastered these questions you can clear the elephant memory. The third method allows you to take an on-screen test and print out the test results. The results will display all the questions with the answers. Incorrectly answered questions are also displayed showing the correct answer and the answer you selected. You can then print out these results or save the results to a file to open and review later.

4) Save your last session. With a click of the mouse you can return to your previous session to continue taking a test.

5) Wizards that build test packages. With our easy-to-use test package wizard you can create tests which can build test packages that contain the questions, answer sheets, and answer sheet correction keys. These packages can then be saved to disk and opened at a later time to be printed out. They can also be sent over the Internet and opened by another computer.

6) The ability to create random tests 3 ways. You can create a random test from a single chapter, multiple chapters or the entire test bank can be randomized. We allow you to choose which chapters you wish to include in your test as well a the number of questions you would like asked in the test. The test can them be taken on screen or printed out, complete with answer sheets and answer sheet correction keys. The program gives you the ability to print out tests in a variety of ways.

7) Answer Questions On Screen In A Variety Of Ways. One of the few criticisms we had with our previous version of Signal 102 is that there was only one way to answer a question. The user had to click on an option button to select an answer, then click on the "Answer" button and then click once more to advance to the next question. Some of our users thought this was just to much darn clicking... so we added three more ways to answer the questions. See information under Options for all the details.

8) Optional Ability To Unlock - Knightlite TestMaker 97 - We now bundle all new Knightlite software with the ability to unlock Knightlite TestMaker 97 and use along with Signal 102. Knightlite TestMaker gives the user the ability to create up to 21 different test banks, with user defined titles. You can write in your own questions or pick and choose specific questions from any chapter using this very useful software.

Other Features:

1) Edit, add, or delete any question from any of the 20 fire fighter chapters. You can easily add questions to your fire fighter chapters. We have given the user complete control over the question database.

2) On-line Timer And Score Calculator - You can time yourself to see how long a test takes
you using the on-line timer. Signal 102 also keeps track of your score while you take a test.

3) On-Line Documentation - The program is extremely intuitive, however if you have any
questions press "Help" on the main test menu. Signal 102 also ships with a printed User
Manual.

4) Create your own test - The standard version of Signal 102 allows you to make one custom test bank.

5) Optional sound effects - Insults you when you make a mistake praises you when you are correct - Not to worry default setting is OFF.
