So, you’re getting ready to graduate and find a job as a nurse, EMT, or a teacher.  You’re probably tired of taking tests, but those NCLEX or TExES Pedagogy exams are kinda important.  You don’t need to buy a prep book from Barnes & Noble to practice.  Instead visit the Learning Express Library, register with your own ID and password and check out the practice tests they offer.

There is a list of the “Learning Centers” which include the nursing and teaching tests mentioned, but also EMT, real estate, and Civil Service tests.

And, if you want to try your hand at grad school there is a Learning Center for the GMAT, GRE, LSAT, and MCAT tests as well.

Sharpen your pencils, grab some caffine, and good luck!

The Video Library also contains the Congressional Chronicle which

is an index to the C-SPAN video recordings of the House and Senate floor proceedings. The video recordings are matched with the text of the Congressional Record as soon as the Record is available. It only includes members who appeared on the floor to deliver or insert their remarks. The text included here is what the member submitted. Each appearance has a video link where users can watch and listen to the actual remarks.
