Learning Express Library

After browsing though the Learning Express Library, I found an abundant amount of resources to help students of all ages improve their skills in all areas and with practice testing.  I focused mostly on high school and college bound areas to do a more in depth exploration.  The resources for test prep were numerous.  I did not, however, see test preps for TABE, Compass or Kaplan, which are tests sometimes used for entrance into various departments at the technical school I work at.  I'm new at this job, so I don't know if any of those exams would even be available on this format.  I would think though, that any of the upper level practice tests would be helpful.  After taking part of an exam myself, and getting the results, I thought the suggestions made for "additional help" was very beneficial and easy to access.  

I choose "Job Interviews That Get You Hired" for my Job Search and Workplace Skills Challenge.  The information I found on the eBook was easy to read with a lot of information, covering everything from writing resumes, questions that are asked during an interview, and questions that one should asked when being interviewed.  A good "all in one " resource that could be suggested for graduating students.

For the career topic I typed in Physical Therapist Assistant. The results showed several practice test exams along with several eBook exams.  I'm not quite sure why Cosmetology & Nursing showed up when I entered PTA, but since those programs are also available though our school, I will definitely pass on this information about this site to those instructors.

  1. Thanks for the comments, Libaide, and for spreading the news about what's available in Learning Express! There is not a test with the names you mention. However, staff at Tech Institutes tell us that the tests under College Students>Technical and Career College Skills are very similar. Take a look and see what you think.
