I love the Wiley Test Bank but there are a few quirks/issues I have with it… I sent an email to Wiley but doubt anything comes of it. Here are my gripes:
(don't know if these relate to others or just me, or not knowing how to use it)
1. The A B C D answers are not in order… so the bubbles will be listed D A C B or something random. Maybe it's a test in paying attention to detail?
2. After completing a session, the screen goes blank and/or logs me out. You'd think it would return your score, but no, just gives me the boot.
3. You can only review your Exam questions if you bookmark them all or if they are incorrect.
4. The elapsed timer does not work… it is slow!
5. The My Assessments tab and My Reports tab to me are confusing… You'd think there would be one tab for in progress items, one tab for completed items, and within each tab would be a breakout of assessments vs. exams.
6. “Managing sessions” is cumbersome… you can only “exclude” exams from your reporting instead of just deleting them. What if you fail a section, then want your reports to start over fresh?
7. The wrong answers selected will show you why it's wrong, the right answer selected will show you why it's right. However, in the Wiley Books, the entire explanation is shown. I would find it more helpful if when selecting the right answer it shows the entirety of why the other selections were wrong and why the right answer is right.
Having said all that… I don't believe the above issues really interfere with it's value. I don't think I could have passed any sections without having Wiley! For the money it is a real asset to studying.
