The following screenshots are a preview of how TesTTaker will appear during download and after installation on your computer. We have 22 screenshots listed below. Give them time to load and review them all. We highly recommend that you install and understand the functions of this software BEFORE making any purchases of exam question downloads.

If you are installing this software, please read and understand this whole tutorial.

When you click on the link to download this software the following dialog box will appear. 

Choosing Run will download the files to a temporary folder from which they will automatically start the following process.

The next box will show you the progress of the download. The time represented here is at 50.6 kbps on a dialup connection.  

When this box appears next, click "Run" again.

The following box begins the installation process. Click "Next".

After reading the user agreement, click "I Agree".

Accept the destination folder. Just click "Install".

The next is just an installation progress box. When it says completed click next.

When this box appears hit "Finish".

  This next step is where we seem to have the most problems. Testtaker is opened from your desktop start menu just like any program. The software can now be opened from your desktop Start/All Programs/SeaSources/Test Taker.  Notice that the "Update TestTaker" and "Uninstall" are also located here for future reference.

After clicking on "Test Taker", the following will appear. If you have an internet connection click "ok".

  Which brings us to this box. Here is where you must enter your User Name and Password that you use to get into the online study site.  If you do not have a UN/PW, you must create an account for the SeaSources Online Study. This information is needed to retrieve your data from the server. 

When you have entered the info, click "OK" again.

This screen verifies your already established online study account. You only have do do this registration process once when you first start TesTTaker. This is just to identify you with the server for retrieving downloads.

  If your User Name/Password are accepted, you are into the new software, and the following screen will appear. Here you should first try "Take a remote test". What this will do is simply hook you up to the server, if you have an internet connection, and you will be able to take all the tests just as you would in the online testing site. When you choose "Take a Test" the software is running on locally installed tests which do not need to be online to take. To install tests locally click on "Download test modules". This will take you to the following screen.

What we are running now is v1.15 and that is what should show on your actual software.

 After you click on "Download Test Modules", The next screen will show you what you have available to download and install on your computer. These will be determined by whether you have had previously purchases modules from SeaSources or if you wish to purchase other modules they will be added to your list and will be visible here when you come back to this page. Remember that the whole purpose of this new system is that these quizzes are "installed". You do not need to be online to take the quizzes and they run faster than the online quizzes.  They are thus portable, so to speak, and can be added to and upgraded from anywhere you can get online. The three marked with the blue dot are Free Sample Downloads. Highlight "Lifesaving" for example then choose Download module(s).

When the Downloads complete box shows up click OK.

You now have the installed module "Lifesaving" on your computer. Now click on "Take a test".

This screen shows all the pull down menus for installed modules. Since the only one installed so far is "Lifesaving" choose OK.

The Lifesaving module has 19 quizzes of 20 questions per quiz. Select any one and choose OK.

This takes you to the first 20 question quiz. You can either pick correct answer with mouse pointer or A,B,C,D. on the keyboard. Hit enter or click on the "Correct/Incorrect" icon below the question to go to the next question. When you come to a question that has an illustration it will show up below the question.

When you choose an incorrect answer the correct choice will be highlighted. Remember it for next time.

Have Fun!
