Black Cat Systems says Elmer 8.0.0, has been released for Mac OS X. This version includes the new Technician Class question pool, which went into effect July 1.

Elmer creates sample tests to help you prepare for your amateur (ham) radio written examination. It contains all FCC question pools for each of the three written exams: Technician, General, and Extra Class.

Elmer will grade your sample test, showing you which questions were answered incorrectly. It will also indicate if you passed the exam. The app keeps track of quick questions give you difficulty, and custom tailors exams to emphasize these questions.

A demo copy of Elmer may be downloaded from the Black Cat Systems web site at http://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/elmer.html for US$24.99; versions for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch are also available.
