Tips for Mac Users

 

·         The recommended browsers are Chrome and Safari.

·         If you are getting no response when pressing two keys at the same time or when pressing the RETURN key, press the TAB key to bring the focus back to the Assessment or Training window.  This will not display an Incorrect message.

·         When asked to press the Windows <Ctrl> key, do the following:

o   If you are using a Macintosh with an Apple keyboard, use the <Command> key instead.

o   If you are using a Macintosh using a generic USB keyboard, you will generally use the <Ctrl> key, though on rare occasions the <Alt> key will be used for the same function.

·         When asked to right-click the mouse, do the following:

o   If you are using a single-button mouse or track pad, simultaneously press the <Ctrl> key and click at the same time.

o   If you are using a more recent MacBook that supports gestures, you can also touch the track pad with two fingers. Note that this needs to be activated in your System Preferences. Refer to http://www.macinstruct.com/node/66 or look up what your particular computer needs.

o   If you are using a generic USB two-button mouse or track pad, use the right button as you would on Windows

·         Apple keyboards do not differentiate between the <Backspace> and <Delete> keys like Windows or generic USB keyboards. When asked to use <Backspace>, hold the Function (fn) key on the keyboard while pressing the Delete key.

 

Right-clicking the trackpad works if it is configured in your System Preferences. Refer to http://www.macinstruct.com/node/66 or look up what your particular computer needs.
