Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 4	Hello, I am running the Listening span test (letter recall version). Since it is a long test to run, I would like to reduce the practice sentences. For this I went to the editable section of the script and manually removed 10 sentences from the <item PracSentenceProblems> and also from <item PracSentenceProblems_audit> and finally from corresponding <list PracSentenceCorrect>. However, when I run the test, it stops after 5 practice sentences and exits from the program. How can I reduce the practice trials. Kindly help. Best, Yatin

Hello Admin, Thank you for your kind reply. Please correct em if I am wrong, did you just remove 10 items from these sections ? <item PracSentenceProblems>, <item PracSentenceProblems_audit>, <list PracSentenceCorrect>. Or there were more changes elsewhere in the code? If yes, when I tried the same (reduced to two sentences), it froze after presenting two practice trials. Am I doing it write? Following is my modification <item PracSentenceProblems> / 01 = "Sam stopped the fire with a bucket full of promises." / 02 = "In the summer, you can often watch movies outdoors." </item> <item PracSentenceProblems_audit> / 01 = "practice1.wav" / 02 = "practice2.wav" </item> <list PracSentenceCorrect> / items = ( "FALSE", "TRUE") / selectionmode = sound.PracProblem_audit.currentindex </list> Yatin
