AccelTest, the program will ask if you
want to set up your school year and

and follow the instructions for the School Year preference on
Checking for Updates to the Software
AccelTest automatically checks for updates periodically. This helps ensure that you
have the latest version of the software. The Auto Update preference sets how often
the software checks for updates; see page 136.
If you want to check for updates manually, click the
Help
menu and choose
Check for Updates
. The software will
notify you if no updates are available. If updates are available,
they will be listed. Click
Download
to get the updates. Click
Done
when the download is complete. The update file will be
downloaded to your computer’s desktop; double-click it to begin the update. You
may be told to restart your computer after the update is installed.
If you update from
version 2.x to
version 3.x,
the first
time you start AccelTest after
the upgrade, the Data
Migration Tool will convert
your database to the newest
format. This may take some
time.
