Alternatively you can use the quick scroll on the right of the screen to search for the acronym as they are listed in alphabetical order. 4) Click on the acronym to open up the description of the term and there is a sound icon that you can click to hear the term spoken by the author. The Games: The first game is a fun way to build your knowledge by choosing the category you wish to explore, select the number of questions you would like to answer in the round, answer the multiple choice question by selecting the correct acronym and when you select the correct answer the full term of the acronym appears. Then you can move to the next question. The exam is a bit harder version of the quiz which has the same questions set out in categories for you to choose. The difference is that there is no feedback during the game and only a score is provided at the end. If you get all correct you get a well-deserved round of applause.
