StarTest - Star Tester. Galaxy.StarTest astrological program

StarTest - Star Tester (Galaxy.StarTest) is a free, simple and useful program that allows you to quickly and effortlessly test knowledge not only in astrology, but also in mathematics, Russian and English, which is useful not only to adult uncles and aunts, but also to their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Therefore, this program goes far beyond astrological programs. But since it is also for beginner astrologers, I included it in the space of Galaxy programs.

StarTest Astrological Program

This program, in its original form, appeared in the late 90s and I made it for my children. It could only appreciate the knowledge of simple arithmetic operations and the knowledge of the correct spelling of Russian words. Nevertheless, it performed her role remarkably: the children quickly pulled up their oral count and their grammar. After this program in our family went on a cold vacation. And so I would rest.
The question about studying arose again, the code for my children, their children, and my grandchildren, went to school and went on the next cycle of education. That's when my tests came to mind. But we must develop and move forward. And these facts prompted me to breathe new life into a long-forgotten useful program. So there was StarTest, which in terms of functionality has advanced significantly compared to its first version.
In this simple program, other tests appeared that will help not only children with mathematics, Russian and English, but also adults, novice astrologers, with the study of a new subject area.
