The BOK file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BOK files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BOK file on each system platform.
What is BOK file?
The BOK file has been categorized as Data Files. The author of this format is Pearson Education. Additionally, the Data Files category contains 1326 of other files. TestGen Testbank Format is supported by 2 operating systems. These systems consist of Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use TestGen to handle this file. This is a program created by Pearson Education. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs.
How to open BOK file?
An often recurring problem with TestGen Testbank Format is that BOK is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open BOK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BOK file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install TestGen
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TestGen is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TestGen into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BOK with TestGen. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BOK files.
Programs to open BOK file
Remember to download programs supporting BOK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TestGen with BOK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BOK file to open in the TestGen application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BOK file with the TestGen application.
Step 3. Update TestGen to the latest version
If, despite the association of the TestGen program with the TestGen Testbank Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Pearson Education website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BOK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The BOK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the BOK file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BOK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BOK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BOK files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BOK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Pearson Education, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BOK except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BOK to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BOK to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BOK file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
