Friends son is not doing well in school, I'm trying to modivate him to step it up a few notches but am having little luck. I was thinking I would find some software where I could create custom tests and tie them in with a reward system. It's one thing to tell him "do good in that Math quiz today at school and next week when you get the results I'll buy you a PSP game" and to say "take this quiz I made and if you get 80%+ I will go buy you a game right now.
I downloaded a couple trials and they seem pretty basic, I don't need something super fancy. But one that would let me track his results in different categories. Use video/audio clips to make it more interesting to him. Also depending on a right/wrong answer I can have it do something (play a video clip, pull up a reference to the correct answer etc) Oh, and it wouldn't hurt if I could find one that came loaded with sample questions. Its been a long damn time since I was 13 (his age) and I don't want to go making tests too ease or too hard for him.
Hoping maybe there's some parents here who have experience with this very thing. Googled for a review site and the only one I came across the stuff sounds suspiciously like paid BS.
