Learning Express

Step 1. Setting up an account was very simple and easy.

Step 2. It was kind of inconvenient to have to add the test I wanted to try to “My Center” when I only wanted to try it. I then had to delete it from “My Center” when I was finished. However, if there is a test that I really want to take and possibly come back to later, having it in “My Center” is great. I also would have liked for the “View Answers” button to have been closer to the top of the page because that is what I would consider to be the most important part of a practice test.

Step 3. I thought the Creating Great Cover Letters course in the Job Search and Workplace Skills center would be very valuable for those looking for work. There were many good tips and the information was nicely laid out, easy to read, and also quite quick to read for those without a lot of time to spend. I liked the menu on the left that enabled you to go easily view a section that related to what you were looking for.

Step 4. I decided to browse through the ebooks to see what was available. I ended up looking at “501 Sentence Completion Questions.” The book was very well laid out and easy to use and seem as though it would be very valuable in both increasing a person’s vocabulary and as practice for standardized tests.

  1. Good comments, Timmi! Thanks for giving this a try. I hope you can see ways to use this database with your patrons. I think that maybe the graduate study entrance exams would be of value to your undergrad seniors.
