Learn-A-Test

I wish I had known about Learn-A-Test last month. I had two adult patrons ask me (I think even on the same day) for elementary math books because they were studying for the GED. We don't have an extensive elementary math text book in the juvenile collection, so I mentioned the GED DVDs and that the literacy center has tutoring and materials for the GED. Learn-A-Test would have been a wonderful tool to show them as well.

While I was exploring Learn-A-Test, I tried the Social Studies practice test for the GED. I answered two questions and then thought, "Yuck! Who wants to actually take a test unless you have to?! (I did get those two questions right, though. :)) I'm glad I tried the test simply for the sake of future demonstrations with patrons. I was pleased to see that one can save a test and come back at his or her convenience.
