To select a quiz, begin by clicking on the "+" to the left of the corresponding chapter.
The sections which have quizzes available will appear below the selected chapter.
Expand a section to show the available quiz levels for that section.
Click on the level, to load the quiz.
When the quiz is loaded, it appears to the right of the quiz selection tree.
The title line shows the chapter, section, and level of the quiz.
Below the title line is a set of tabs. Each tab represents one question in the current quiz.
Each question contains a set of choices. A checkbox precedes each choice.
Click on the checkbox preceding a choice to select it. A check mark will appear in the checkbox. To deselect a choice, simply click on the corresponding checkbox again.
When you have selected all of the choices that you think are correct, click on the "Check Answers" button.
The application will then provide feedback about your answers. For each choice you answered correctly, the background of that checkbox will turn green.

If the explanation begins with the word "Yes," that choice should be selected. If the explanation begins with the word "No," that choice should not be selected.
