Lesson 3: Learning Express Library

1.  Set-up an account in Learning Express and browse through the available exams.  

2.  Choose one and answer a few questions. Then click "Score my test" in the top toolbar. Ignore the warnings and continue to have your test scored, so that you can see how the diagnostic page looks. Then click "View Answers" at the bottom of the page. What did you think about this test experience? 


This is a great way to practice for upcoming exams. I like that it lets you know which ones you missed so that you know which areas to work on. I also like the different options for taking the test: timed, not timed, and with the answers provided for study. 

3.  Job searching and resume writing are among the self-paced courses in Learning Express.  Locate the career resources and add one of the courses to your center.  Take a few minutes to explore the course and note your observations.


The resume writing course takes you through step by step and does a great job explaining the why's and how's to certain aspects of the process. I like how you can save the course anywhere and start again later at the same spot. 

4. Type a search term in the search box for a skills improvement or career topic in which you are interested. Notice that results are sorted by tests, courses and eBooks (if all of those are available for your chosen topic). Please select an eBook and look through its pages.
