Learning Express Library

On the Learning Express Library site, one can take various diagnostic tests at all levels of school (Elementary, Middle, High, or College) There are also resources for GED, job search and adult skill building. Exploring the testing section in middles school, I began a math test on Grade 6 Number Sense and Operations. The questions seemed to be valid and similiar to other standaridized tests that students take. After answering a few questions, I ended the test and received report on how I did. The report shows areas covered and how many I received right, how many I answered, and how many I left blank. The view answers option included explainations as to why an answer is correct. It also indicates what you might have done incorrectly based on the incorrect choice you chose. I had the option to add this test again to retake it. Math, Reading, Writing, and High School Entrance prep are the areas covered in Middle School.

Under the Job Search and Workplace Skills, there are courses on Business Writing, Job Searches, Writing Resumes, and Interviewing. I explored the Writing Resume course. There is good information on what a resume is, formatting choices, and good tips. After asking a few key questions, the site recommends a format for your resume.

Another section included Ebooks. I browsed one titled Teacher Career Starter. It had some great information within the 255 pages. Unfortunately, much of the data included was outdated such as 1999 chart on supply and demand for teachers. Another ebook I explored was titled Resumes that Get You Hired. This 255 pages ebook included some helpful sections such as 35 Resumes Mistakes to Avoid and an appendix section with Action Verbs and Power Phrases.
