Learning Express Library

I knew you could do practice tests for ACT, GED, etc. but to have them all in the same place is great. I know of two high school juniors who actually used this recource last year and had great success with it. Finding the other 5 learning centers there is a bonus. The job search and workplace skills had a grammer test. Finding out your punctuation skills need improvement is good, especially if you actually need to write resumes. My problem is commas. Taking a social studies test for the GED was better, of the five questions there was only 1 wrong. Better grade! The ebook I picked was GRE testing. It did not take long to download and most of the book was compiled of preperation. Relaxing before the test was mentioned quite a bit. Relaxing is always great!
I have been working with the local high school to make sure all the kids know this resource available to everyone. If they cannot make time at school they need to come to the library.
The job resume aspect is a plus as well. Kids need to work at 16 so they have money in the rural community. The best example is: cars are needed for transportation and money is needed for the car. All our rural kids learn this right away as walking and public transportation is not an option.
