Learning Express Library

This is the first time I've used Learning Express Library. It was fun to test my knowledge with different tests.

Because I work with children I wanted to see what the tests for elementary students looked like. I took the 4th grade Reading Test, and I am glad to say I passed it! I think this is a good resource for parents to use to give their children reading comprehension practice.

I also took the Citizenship Practice Test. I am ashamed to say I did not get all the answers correct. I need to brush up in the area of government. (I bet I can look it up in the World Book!)

In the area of Job Skills, I signed up for "Determining What You Want from Your Career." If a person is serious and puts some thought into completing the assignments, they will articulate Career Goals, compile an Action Plan, and even delineate education, experiences, and personality traits that will help them achieve their goals.

For my ebook challenge, I choose "Becoming a Culinary Arts Professional," which is actually pretty unbelievable since one rarely uses the words "cook" and "Nancy" in the same sentence. But if I ever want to become a culinary arts professional, I know where I can get the necessary information to begin.

So what have I learned? I learned that Learning Express Library is a good resource for people of all ages preparing for various exams. There is also a wealth of information for those looking to enter the work force, advance in their careers, or even to change careers. (And for all you trivia fans, the tests are a good way to test your knowledge!)
