The ATS can be installed from the install menu. ATS require about 3MB of hard disk space. ATS can provide adaptive or non adaptive tests from each of the six units. The questions in the non adaptive tests are randomly generated while the questions in the adaptive version are based on student responses. For example, students who continue to do well in a test will get harder and more challenging problems while student who are not performing well will usually get problems that are suitable for their skill level. This may give an accurate measure of student performance.

Instructors who may wish to use the ATS system to maintain students' records may do so by choosing the File Path and choosing a file name with the extension *.std from the Instructor's Package. The instructor must take a sample test. Then the file will be created and students will be able to write into the file. Unless students have the write privileges to this file in a network environment, instructors must create this file in each PC. The instructor's package can only be accessed by the instructor using a password. The original password is bgd and can be reset from the instructor's package.

CAUTION: EXITING ATS FROM THE WINDOW'S CLOSE MENU WILL LEAVE ATS AS AN ACTIVE TASK. SHOULD THAT HAPPEN, PRESS CTRL-ALT-ESC KEYS AT THE SAME TIME TO DISPLAY THE ACTIVE TASKS AND MANUALLY END TASK. HOWEVER, IF YOU EXIT ATS FROM ITS MENU, THIS WILL NOT OCCUR.
