Choosing Your Name, Starting Lessons, and Taking the Pre-Test
. . . . .
1. After starting KeyWords, press the ↓ key to move down to your name in
the list. Then, press enter.
2. If you are using NEO 1, go to step 3.
On NEO 2, you might be asked to choose a network, or you might be
asked if you want to stay connected to a specific Receiver name.
Networks are Renaissance Receivers connected to teacher computers.
The teacher should tell you which Receiver to use.
• If the screen lists the networks, use the up and down arrow keys to
highlight the correct name; then, press enter.
• If the screen asks if you want to stay connected to a Receiver, press Y
if the name is correct or N if it is not correct. Then, press enter. If you
choose no, you’ll be asked to choose a different one.
3. Type your KeyWords password and press enter. (If you don’t know what
password to use, talk to your teacher.)
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight Pre-Test and press enter.
5. For the pre-test, after viewing instructions, type the text as instructed. At
the end of the pre-test, you will see how many words per minute (WPM)
you typed and how many errors you made. When you finish, you will go
back to the list of lessons.
The arrows on the
screen show you that
there are more options
above or below the ones
you’re viewing.
The teacher can set
the difficulty level of
the pre-test and
post-test; see page 139 to
find out how to change it on
the NEO itself or page 146 to
find out how to change the
level for multiple students and
NEOs using NEO Manager.
