I found that I could get lost in Learning Express. There is a lot to this website. I think this site would be a helpful tool for the school counselors. In fact, I e-mailed the counselors at my high school the two page flier that is provided. I hope they will take a look. I think they would find Learning Express helpful and useful for the students they are guiding into higher education or career placement.
I took a couple of tests in Learning Express. I like that at the end of the test, there is feedback right away. A person can view the answers and know the results without waiting. That is an important feature in testing. I then searched the careers and looked at a couple of options. The Green Careers connected me directly to an eBook about Green careers. There weren't any tests for this career just information. In looking at other careers, test preparation is available as well as information about the career. I think if someone were interested in a particular career this would be helpful.
I searched for the career "social worker". There were several tests for this search, but some were for "postal workers" and other careers with the work "worker". No courses were available for social worker, but there were a couple of eBooks available. The eBook option is nice for those who want to save the information and come back to it later.
There is a lot of potential use for Learning Express. It is just a matter of getting the word out to those who might be able to use those who would benefit from its use.
We're so glad you are sharing this information, Mary CE! Many schools in SD use the ACT practice tests in Learning Express with their Juniors. We think it can help anyone who wants to improve their academic and career skills. Thanks for your comments!
