Have You Checked Out The Testing And Education Reference Center?

Our webmaster reminded me today that our library has a great resource you might be able to use with your job searches.
If you'll look at our Website home page, you'll see on the lefthand side, across from the Bookworm Blog, Testing and Education Reference Center. This is one of the most comprehensive and heavily traveled education resources on the Internet. Peterson's, a Nelnet company, is one of the leading education services and finance companies in the United States and is focused on providing services to students, families, and schools nationwide.
The Testing and Education Reference Center can be accessed here at the library by simply clicking on the words. But it can also be accessed from your home by typing in the numbers of your PINES library card into the password request. It will not work with another library's card, however, so be sure it's the numbers on your Moultrie Library PINES card.
The Reference Center is a start-to-finish resource with all the information and support materials you need to make informed, confident decisions to shape the rest of your life. It has over 100 practice tests and courses, and information on over 4,000 accredited schools.
High school tests include: GED prep (including GED Spanish), High School Placement Test (HSPT), and Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT). College Prep tests include: CLEP prep, ACT, SAT, and PSAT. Career tests include: NCLEX (nursing), ASVAB prep (military), PRAXIS (teaching), and Civil Service and licensure exams (including postal, firefighter, and police officer exams). Graduate School tests include: GRE prep, MCAT, and LSAT. International tests include TOEFL prep and U.S. Citizenship. And there is a quick access to all online books.
On this site there are also resumes for college application, career colleges search, and professional development programs
search.
If you're preparing for job searches and need to practice certain tests, this is the resource for you to use.
Take a little time and look the site over. And if you have a question, we'll see if we can help you.
Just look for the Testing and Education Reference Center to the left of the MCCL Bookworm Blog. We're glad to help.
