# NZART Exam Trainer
A web application simulating an NZART Exam for use in obtaining an New Zealand Amateur Radio License.
Not affiliated with [New Zealand Association of Radio Transmitters](https://www.nzart.org.nz/) in any way.
**A live website can be found at; [https://nzarttrainer.m1m0n.net](https://nzarttrainer.m1m0n.net)**
Thanks to Sasha Japaridze (ZL1JX) for providing hosting.
Written in [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/) for [Python 3](https://www.python.org/).
## Updating the Exam Files
Under the [exam_file_tools](exam_file_tools) directory, there's a number of Python scripts used to update the questions in the event of new versions. A version is already included within the distribution.
From the [NZART Amateur Radio Examination Files download page](https://www.nzart.org.nz/exam/download-examination-files/), download the latest version and extract the **PARAMS** and **N\*.TXT** from it. On case-sensitive systems, such as Mac OS X & Linux, please ensure that their filenames including extensions are fully uppercase. Then use the [exam_file_tools/questions_to_json.py](exam_file_tools/questions_to_json.py) script to convert these files to a JSON format, used by the trainer. A search and replace is done on the output to point the images to their PNG copies.
Use the [exam_file_tools/json_get_answers.py](exam_file_tools/json_get_answers.py) script to generate a list of answers which is to be included in [s/exam.js](s/exam.js) for real-time grading use.
The [exam_file_tools/json_to_flat_text.py](exam_file_tools/json_to_flat_text.py) script can be used to generate an [Anki](https://apps.ankiweb.net/) deck. The output will need manual adjustment as there's a duplicate question.
