[Publib] Subscription testing databases

[Melissa Callahan]

We use Learn-A-Test as well.  It is not used as much as I would like by
patrons, but I still think it is a worthy alternative.  Our books always
seem to magically disappear.  Patrons just need a library card and then
can register online through a link from our website.
 
Good luck,
 
Melissa

Our library subscribes to Learn A Test and we have been happy with their
service:

The only downsides I can think of are that the client must first
register in-house for an account (not necessarily a bad thing) and if a
client forgets their Learn A Test password, they must call Learn A Test
to look up their password.

Does anyone subscribe to a testing database that they are happy (or
unhappy) with?  We're looking for a database that our patrons can use to
take practice tests such as SATs, GREs, GEDs and so forth.  Thanks!
