On the home page, content is organized into 7 sections to point you quickly in the right direction:

Each section includes a brief description, collection of online practice tests, online books, 'resources,' articles and related links.

Test prep is the biggest part of Testing & Education Reference Center - it includes online practice tests and full-text PDF versions of Petersons and ARCO test taking guides.

You'll find practice exams for SAT, GED, ASVAB, just about any test acronym you can think of plus military, high school entrance, nursing, postal service exams and lots more. These exams may be timed to create a realistic test-taking environment.

To take an online practice exam, create a user ID and password separate from your library card #.  Once you've logged in, you can start, stop, and resume exams multiple times. It also saves test scores and tracks your progress through multiple exams.

The exams launch in separate windows and are easy to use.
