The One Thing Many Kids Want to Learn

We have added another sample notebook to Study Star to help high-school-age learners get started using the program. These sample notes are facts collected from the driver license manual of our state, Oregon. So, students can install Study Star and within a minute be studying for their driver license by playing video poker or solitaire.

What If You Live in Another State?

You can use the Oregon sample notes that come with Study Star as an example and set up your own notes from your state's driver license manual in a couple of hours. Or, you can send us a copy of your state's driver license book, and we'll try to add notes for your state's test to Study Star as quickly as we can.
