Testing-Taking and Skill-Building with LearningExpress Library

Thanks to funding from Iowa Workforce Development, a wonderful online tool called LearningExpress Library is available at no charge to library patrons for all of 2013.

Use Learning Express and you’ll enjoy free, unlimited access to interactive skill-building courses in math, reading and writing, as well as a broad range of practice tests based on official exams such as the ACT, SAT, GED, ASVAB Core, and EMT Basic, as well as firefighter, police officer, paramedic, Allied Healthcare, U.S. citizenship, postal worker, cosmetology, and real estate agent and broker exams. The service is available 24/7 from any Internet-enabled computer — in the library or at home.

The LearningExpress Library online platform provides over 770 of the most up-to-date test preparation and skill-building resources, helping both youth and adults prepare for a wide range of academic and career-oriented exams, as well as improve basic skills in reading, writing and math. In addition, job-skills tutorials are available to assist in creating a resume, honing interviewing techniques and improving business communications. Library patrons also have the option of selecting from more than 130 e-book titles to help learners of all ages prepare for success. The platform includes self-paced study, instant scoring and diagnostic feedback.
