LearningExpress

I tried reading comprehension tests for high school. I was impressed with the test and it's scoring. This would be worth using for students to practice for SAT's and other standardized tests. It's also a good test for teachers to use to assess students' abilities and areas of need. 
I chose to look at the course about interviews. It provided some good basic instructions for going to an interview and tips to pay attention to. I particularly like the section on common job interview questions. I think this would be a good resource to recommend to people and encourage them to use as practice for interviews. 
When I searched for Nursing Assistant I got a number of results. The e-book results were an odd mix of things that didn't seem to apply in any way. I did, however, get a health occupations entrance exam book with practice tests and self assessment tools. 
I had never even heard of Learning Express before this. I really think there is a lot there for schools to be able to use with their students as well as for teachers to use to help identify students' needs. I wish that we had access to this at school and that it wasn't just a public library resource. 
I do think the job search part of this is also a very powerful tool to be able to offer patrons.
