So we meet once again. I am actually doing a Reference Challenge weekly exercise in the week it is meant to be done! Yay for me!
I am sad to say that Overlord Google Chrome was displeased with his minion SurveyMonkey and would not let me go beyond question #5, and when it finally did, the it was once again displeased by an improper link. All hail the Overlord Google Chrome...
Anywho, moving on.
Let's start with #1 of this exercise. Check!
On to #2. I decided to take the cosmetology test, which I found interesting as I never would expected there to be a cosmetology exam. I was quite fascinated with one of the questions that referred to how much makeup a cosmetologist, and one of the options was to look prettier than your clients! :D This was the wrong answer.
The test experience was very interesting. I am not sure I am 100% crazy about how your test results are shown, with having broken down the different areas covered on that one test in different sections. Reviewing answered questions was fairly simple though, however I didn't see a way that one could get an explanation as to why the answer was incorrect. That would have been a bit helpful.
For #3, I decided to do some brushing up on my public speaking skills. I am quite a talker, and really have no issue about talking, whether in public or private, but felt that I might find some tips on how perhaps stop rambling....do you see where I am going with this? I found an interesting e-book called "Public Speaking Success in 20 Minutes a Day". Very interesting book, with lots of helpful tips and how to get over anxiety and planning out what you are going to say. Apparently, "winging it" is not really recommended. :D
I felt this also would play in to part #4, which was to look through an e-book. Very easy to maneuver around, looking at the pages. It's handy that it comes up in PDF format so that pages could be printed, and that text size could be changed. All in all, very handy.
Learning Express is one of those databases that you wish you could just inform every single high-school student about. Awesome test prep, great practice exams and some seriously helpful tips. I wish I would have had access to this when I was prepping for the GRE.
Yay! You are caught up!! Good work. Excellent post on Learning Express. I did test out the survey monkey in chrome and think it is fixed. Sorry for the difficulty there.
ReplyDeleteThere are SO many tests in Learning Express I'm frequently surprised what one can find. To see the answers to your questions for answer explanations, click on "view answers" in the score report and then click on the question number where you want to start viewing the answers. Different tests/questions will have more answer explanations.
Hope this helps!! Thanks for your work!! Julie
I agree with your wanting to inform every high school student about Learning Express. I wish I'd have known about it when my kids were still in school!
ReplyDeleteGood job getting caught up! I, too, was amazed at all the testing options!
