I've just released onto the world my first publicly available desktop application. I call it Memory Builder. It was designed to help my kids build up their French vocabulary, but you could use it to test yourself on almost any subject where small questions and answers work.

The idea is that you add in a selection of questions/answers (e.g. words/phrases in German and their English meanings, or questions about car engine parts and the answers to those questions), then you just test yourself by going through a few questions every now and again and checking the answers if you need to. I have the program set as a scheduled task so that it pops up every couple of hours and I can do a few questions, or just click Quit. The questions are randomly selected, so you get different ones coming up each time.

The installer I've put up for download comes with a default French/English data file. This presents French words/phrases. You've got to remember the English meanings. Click Next to page through from one French word/phrase to the next:

You can click English if you can't remember the word/phrase.

To add or remove  entries to/from the data file, click Feed.
 
Scroll to the bottom and add more French words and their English meanings, or click in the left, grey column to highlight a row and press Delete on the keyboard to remove it. To get rid of everything and add your own data, highlight the lot and press Delete. The Properties tab allows you to change the button text from French/English to something that suits your questions/answers.
