 Progress charts are used to keep track of your
 improving skills over time.  After each
 exercise session a progress score is calculated
 based on your performance.

 The progress score is determined by a number of
 factors. These factors include the number of
 drills you answer correctly, your average
 response time, and the difficulty of the
 exercise. As each factor improves, your progress

 scores increase. It is important to note that
 the significance of the progress score lies in
 the improvement over time, not in the number
 itself.

 There are two ways to open a progress chart. The
 first is from the Progress menu, and the second
 is from the Exercise Summary dialog box.

   1. Pull down the Progress menu.

        (Click the down arrow for more.)
      The menu lists each of Ear's exercises
      in the same order as the Exercises menu.

   2. Select the exercise for which you want to
      check your progress.
   3. When you are finished viewing the chart,
      click OK.

 You can also open an exercise chart from the
 Exercise Summary dialog box which appears at the
 end of an exercise session.

             INTERPRETING THE CHART

 is the progress score. The lighter colored line

 running across the vertical lines averages your
 score over time. In the left corner of the chart
 is your highest progress score for this
 exercise.
