It is assumed that 10 to 30 pages are specified as the test range.

When the test range is specified by the page range of the textbook, the specified test range is stored in the page information area 3C,
The test range stored in the page information section area 3C is referred to, and the page and question number for the questions within the specified test range among the questions in the question/answer section area 3B are displayed on the display device 6.
will be displayed.

An example of this display is shown in FIG. After the display shown in FIG. 6 is displayed for a predetermined time, a number designation screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display device 6 in place of the display shown in FIG. A desired question number is designated from the display shown in FIG. 6 using the Kinkey 55 (step S).

Following step SI, it is checked whether the question number designated in step S corresponds to a question within the designated test range, that is, whether or not it is a normal input (step Sz).

When the question request key 511 is pressed following Stellar S1 (step S), when the input is determined to be normal in step S2, it is checked in step SI whether there is a question for the specified question number ( Step S,). If it is determined in step S that there is a problem with the designated problem number, step S
The question number designated in step 1 is stored in the input question number information area 3D (step SS). In step S, the stored content of the input question number information area 3D is transferred to the human resource question number information area 4D, and the memory content of the input question number information area 4D is updated to the memory content of the human resource question number information area 3D. be done.

In step S, the instruction question number stored in the input question number information area 3D is referred to, and the question corresponding to the instruction question number is extracted from the question/answer area 3B (step S6), and the print instruction key 5° is pressed. It is checked whether it is pressed (step S?). If it is determined in step S7 that the print instruction key 513 is pressed,
The problem extracted in step S is displayed in RAM area 3.
The data is developed into printing data at step E and printed by a printer (step SS). If the question number specified in step s1 is "0303," for example, the question shown in FIG. 8 is printed.

If it is determined in step S that the print instruction key 5° is not pressed by smell, the problem extracted in step S is displayed in the RAM area 3 for display.
The data is expanded into display data in step E and displayed on the display device 6 (step s). When it is determined in step S2 that the input is not normal, when it is determined in step S4 that the specified question does not exist in the question/answer category area 3B, when printing is completed in step S, and when the display in S is When finished, the process returns to step S.

Following step Sl, when the correct answer request key S+Z is pressed (step S1°), the correct answer request key 51□
The problem number specified in step s1 before is pressed is compared with the problem number stored in the input problem number information area 3D (step S,), and as a result of this comparison, the problem number specified and the input problem number are compared. It is checked whether the problem numbers stored in the information section 3D are the same (step sI□).

If it is determined that they are the same in the check in step Sat, the question number specified in step SI is referenced, and the correct answer to the question corresponding to this question number is extracted from the question/answer category area 3B (step 513 )
. If it is determined in the check in step S1□ that the question number designated in step S is not the same as the question number stored in the input question number information section 3D, the process returns to step S1 following step SI2. Therefore, only when the problem number instructed in step S and the problem number stored in the input problem number information area 3D are the same, that is, the so-called problem presentation in which the problem is displayed on the display device 6 or printed by a printer is performed. The correct answer to the presented question is extracted only after the The correct answer to the question is not extracted.

Following step S11, it is checked whether the print instruction key 513 is pressed (step S, 4), and in step SI4, the print instruction key 51. If it is determined that is pressed, step S1 is performed similarly to step S.
The correct answer extracted in step 3 is printed by a printer (step S1). If the question number specified in step S1 is "0303", the correct answer shown in FIG. 9, for example, is printed.

In step S14, print instruction key 51. If it is determined that is not pressed, the correct answer extracted in step SI3 is displayed on the display device 6 (step S, 6), similarly to step sq. When printing is finished in step SIS and display is finished in step 516, the process returns to step S1.

When the question request key 5□ and the correct answer request key 51□ are not pressed and the end key 56 is pressed (step S3
．． ), the learning is terminated.

Note that the memory contents of the input question number information area 4D are always updated to the memory contents of the input question number information area 3D, and since the input question number information area 4D is a non-volatile storage device, after the question is presented, After turning off the power before presenting the correct answer, then turning on the power, instructing the question number corresponding to the question extracted just before the electricity was cut off, and requesting the presentation of the correct answer, the power will not turn off. The last presented question number before submission is stored, so if the question numbers are the same,
The correct answer is presented.

In addition, instead of the question number, the page information of the textbook to which each question corresponds is specified for each question, and the specified page information is compared with the page information in the page information area 3C. extracts all the questions having the page information, displays them on the display device 6, prints them out using the printer, stores the specified page information, and stores the same page information as the page information stored when a correct answer request is made. Only when page information is specified, the correct answers to the questions corresponding to the page information may be extracted and displayed on the display device 6, and printed using a printer.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the invention of the first claim, when a question corresponding to a question number designated by the question number indicating means is presented to the presenting means, the question number corresponding to the question is stored. When a correct answer is requested, only when the question number instructed by the question number indicating means and the question number stored in the storage means match, the answer to the question corresponding to the question number indicated by the problem indicating means is stored in the means. Since the answer is presented by the presentation means, the correct answer to an unpresented question is not presented to the presentation means first.

As a result, it is not possible to answer a question after looking at the correct answer, and the learning effect can be improved.

According to the invention of the second claim, since description page information corresponding to the question, for example, corresponding page information of a textbook, is specified instead of the question number of the first claim, even if the problem number has the same description page information, If there are multiple questions, there is no need to specify each question number, and it is sufficient to specify page information.

Further, in the second aspect of the invention, the correct answer to the question corresponding to the unspecified page information is not presented before the question corresponding to the unspecified page information.
