[Publib] Online Practice Tests

[Louise Alcorn]

We were just discussing this today - I've *not* found a comparable resource.  As you say, there are bits and pieces here and there, but LE seems to be the only one with everything.  I haven't checked in probably 6 months, however, so ymmv.
 
Someone else suggested consortium pricing.  When we were negotiating, the salesman talked to me about creating a consortium buy with other suburban libraries.  It didn't work, as their approval process would have taken over a year and we had endowment money to spend in that fiscal, but I know they're open to the idea.  For what it's worth.

Dear Collective Brain,
 
We currently subscribe to Learning Express Library. Our procurement department wants us to bid out the service next Spring. I did some research and I can find vendors that offer the major educational, some that offer vocational and others professional but none that offer all of them in one package. Does anyone know of an online test prep company that offers as much as Learning Express does? 

	Over 300 online academic and licensing practice tests including SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, Advanced Placement, civil service, military, real estate, law enforcement, citizenship, TOEFL, ESL and basic skills for elementary, middle and high school skills improvement and much more. Test preparation materials span ages from elementary through adult. This testing resource also provides instant scoring and customized feedback.

Thanks in advance!
