QA-Coach is a question-answer training assistant; it prompts questions selected from a database using a scientific method for optimal memorization of the answers. You can use it to learn vocabulary of a foreign language, mathematical facts and any possible matter presented in form of questions and answers. It stores in a database your performance on each single question and you will be asked  questions in the optimal sequence determined by the program based on what happened in the previous tests. You can create and edit your questions and answers using the relevant program functions or import/export them from/to an external text file. 

QA-Coach uses Microsoft Access 2000 databases to store questions, answers and test results; however, you do not need to have Access 2000 installed in your computer.

QA-Coach helps you to learn and remember expressions and notions through the use of an innovative time-based technology. Better than a human coach, the system asks you the right questions at the right time, and remembers your learning performance on each single question, over multiple training sessions.

Interacting with QA-Coach is very simple as the system takes most of the decisions necessary to drive the training process. Your usage of the keyboard or mouse is minimized, and you can concentrate on the information to be learned, without having to select the questions to work with, which is done automatically, based on what happened in the current and previous training sessions.  

QA-Coach is compatible with all Windows versions, from 95 to Vista.

If one of your new year's resolutions is to improve your memory of people's names and details (and if it isn't, perhaps it should be), then one of my favourite little programs, QA-Coach can help you. I've been using it for about three years now as a way of learning such things as vocabulary, names of people I've met, details about my clients, current affairs, movie cast members, and anything else which I would like to be able to keep in my mind instead of having to look it up all the time.

It works by testing you with questions and answers. If you can remember the answer it asks you again less often, and if you can't remember it asks you more often. Basically the longer you have succeeded in remembering something, the longer it will be before it asks you the same question again. One of the reasons I particularly like this program rather than other more complicated memorising programs such as SuperMemo is that it really doesn't matter whether you use it every day or not. Another is that the initial learning intervals are less than a day, so you don't have to wait until the next day in order to re-learn the ones you got wrong.

I'm a great believer that the best programs (whether computer, diet, exercise, time-management or anything else) are the ones that do a good job as simply as possible. QA-Coach is an excellent example of just that.
