WHY does Daisy recommend it?

1. Super easy to prepare
2. Good if you want to show some general trends/ the whole picture because it shows the results in the format of a pie chart
3. Reports available in excel and pdf formats.

Shortages:

no music & no competition & need to ask a question to know students’ names
