Week 9 - Learning Express

After viewing both tutorials I went to LearningExpress, registered into The Learning Center and started my search. I decided to look at the Middle School Math and went to the first part of the California 8th Grade Mathematics Practice Test. Lucky for me it was only a practice test! I answered a few questions and clicked on Score My Test. I liked the fact that you can get your score immediately. There were detailed explanations for any questions answered incorrectly which would be very helpful if you were preparing for a major exam like the SAT's. It also listed suggestions on what tests and courses would be beneficial to improve your scores and knowledge. I can ssee how this testing option would be very helpful for students ttying to prepare for exams or just improve their math skills.

In Job Search and Workplace Skills I selected Creating Great Cover Letters. I have always found this to be very difficult but with this resource you are given step-by-step instructions  to guide you through the process. You can see correct formats to use, what to include and, equally important, what not to include. If I had to write a cover letter, which I hope I never have to do, this is where I would go for assistance.

I clicked on the eBooks link and browsed what was available. I selected Think You Know Your Vocabulary and found it very interesting. It was written with some humor which made it enjoyable to read. I thought it would be just reading material but it contained many word activities like crossword puzzles, word searches, fill in the blanks and word scrambles to help expand your vocabulary. I plan on keeping this in My Center and referring back to if often.

The LearningExpress is another valuable tool available through MARVEL!
