Cram, a Testing App For Mac OS X

Today I’m gonna talk about a very particular application, Cram.

Cram is a study and test prep app, perfect for students or people preparing for certifications and tests.

You can decide to create a brand new test, writing questions and answers and inserting media as well or simply download tests from the built-in online portal. There are already hundreds of tests, some very well done, some a bit less, which should be able to fulfill all of your needs.

If you don’t find anything that you think might help you in your preparation, you could just create your own test: featuring a sleek and clear interface (which reminds me of The Hit List from Potion Factory) you can create in a few steps multi-answers test, attacching photos and sound with a drag & drop and set a time limit, perfect for standardized tests.

Cram is without a doubt a great app, and I think its strenght lies in its simplicity and clear interface.

You can purchase a single license of Cram for $34.99 or you can decide to download a free trial.
