• GENERAL CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS
• The Snap Card game brought a lot of stress free
  learning to the classrooms.
• The practice and test modules lead to complete
  content retention.
• Being able to create her own set of Questions
  easily, and obtain outputs like Snap Cards,
  Worksheets, interactive Practice and Test
  sessions gave the teacher just the outcomes
  that she wanted, namely her own independence
• in terms of being able to create her own
  Questions, as well as a tremendous
• improvement in scores. And both these outcomes
  were achieved without any major burden.
• YO QUESTIONS proved to be a very effective and
  easy-to-use software ever used by this school in
  classroom teaching for collaborative learning,
  and as a tool for easy self-practice and
  self-testing.

• SOME STUDENT COMMENTS
• This session was just awesome! The boring,
  tiring way of studying was forgotten. Please have
  these sessions for all subjects and chapters! The
  card-game was mind-boggling!...Kshirija Shah
• I liked this studying in a group. Studying alone
  bores me a lot. I am ready to give 100 more such
  tests!...Smeet Chheda
• This is the best way to study. This is the best
  and only way to score 100/100. I am sure that I
  will get the best results in my final
  evaluation.Priyal Dedhia

  conducted for every chapter in every
  subject..Hraday Merchant
