Take TestGen tests and quizzes
You use the TestGen plug-into take tests and quizzes that your instructor created in the TestGen application.
If you do not have the TestGen plug-in, go to the Browser Check for your course and follow the directions to install the plug-in.
Note: If you use a Macintosh, use Safari to take TestGen tests. TestGen is not fully compatible with Firefox on the Macintosh. If you use a PC, we recommend using Internet Explorer.

this case, choose an answer by clicking its letter.
