Testing and Education Reference Center

Through our Gale Database subscription we have access to a great testing resource called the Testing and Education Reference Center.


There are some tools for everyone.


An account is necessary but is free. Students can track how well they do on the tests that they take.


There is a section for international students which contains practice tests and information about the TOEFL/TOEIC and general basic skills. The general basic skills contain practice lessons on English/Writing, Math, and Question Banks about the topics presented in the lessons. These lessons are very rudimentary PowerPoint type presentations. The topics covered may also be helpful for any student. At our opening week one of the topics Chris spoke about was giving students responsibility for their learning. Posting a link to these lessons may be a way for students to be responsible for the items that they need more help with.


The high school section has information for AP or SAT subject tests. Each AP subject has a review book and at least 2 timed practice tests. The SAT section has 3 complete practice tests timed by section.

Thank you for your help with Teen Read Week! Many students brought back their quotes and some even checked out a book to enjoy.

Comics

Comics, Graphic Novels, and Manga are located near the yearbooks. I highly recommend, Imagine Wanting Only This, a graphic novel autobiography. I read it in a few hours the other day and it is a beautiful story.
