are some comments about “learnatest.com” from a librarian in the CTLS region: ________________________________________________________________ I had heard about the Learn-a-Test and
went through one of the trials late last year. I was hoping that this
would solve the problem of the disappearing test guides. I didn't sample
all the tests, but I did try several of them. I deliberately gave wrong
answers some of the time to see what would happen. The site pretty well
lived up to what it claims, BUT I decided not to subscribe for the following
reasons: 1. Learning Express uses the tests
as a vehicle to sell its own products -- courses, etc. This was not
mentioned in any sales pitch I heard. There's no requirement to purchase
anything, of course, but I have a hard time with the idea of paying almost
$1,000 a year so someone can try and sell something to patrons. I also
don't recall ever subscribing to any kind of data base or service where this
occurred. It bothers and disappoints me, but it might not bother other people. 2. There was no way I could
complete one of the ASVAB tests in the time allotted. There was one
question per page; I had to wait for a new page to load before I could
continue, and I ran out of time. (I don't know whether my Internet connection
had anything to do with this; I mentioned it it Tori, but I don't know what the
resolution was). (The other tests I tried were OK). So, I'm back to the printed exam
guides. Guess how I'll be using some of my CTLS CD money? --------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Include in body: unsubscribe ctls-l For information on CTLS-L please visit: http://www.ctls.net/document/ctls-l.htm |
