administrative rights to your computer that allows it to contact www.ivysoftware.com to log
in to the course. Please check with your IT department for assistance.

5. I am trying to find the shortcuts for the course software and/or text? Where are they
installed?
The course consists of a text (PDF file) and software that is installed under Program Files (x86)
on your hard drive. Course shortcuts are created under All Programs and Ivy Software in your
start menu. Once installed, the course should automatically open both the PDF file and the
course software. However, computer settings may vary.
6. I am completing a chapter exam. Does my university see the exam results and can I review my
answers?
For the majority of universities, the chapter exams are recorded for student self-evaluation.
Once you complete a chapter exam, a score is recorded and displayed. When you access the
exam after completion, each exam question will be displayed along with your response, the
correct answer and feedback. We also recommend that you use the chapter exams and pretests as review before completing the course comprehensive final exam.

The comprehensive final exam password is created when you log in with your names to initialize
your Product Code and Session ID#. On subsequent logins, the comprehensive password is
displayed after the login screen and before the main menu of the course software.
