Free eResources for FCPL Cardholders – Learning Express Library

Do you need help with test preparation?  Look no further than your library’s website. FCPL offers Learning Express Library, a free online resource in the eResources section of FCPL's eLibrary.

Find it under Education and Test Preparation or in the Jobs and Careers section. Learning Express Library offers free tutorials and practice tests for the SAT, ACT, AP exams, and even the TOEFL iBT and IELTS tests.  But that’s not all!  It also includes test preparation for the GRE, the MCAT, and the LSAT; as well as for nursing, law enforcement, and many other degrees and certifications. Patrons can also prepare for the GED and other high school equivalency exams.

Students from 4th grade through college can brush up on their skills in all subjects, and high school and college students can prepare for the college placement exams.  College graduates and those looking for a career change can investigate career matching and other resources to enhance their careers. There are even resources for adults wishing to improve their math, writing, or grammar skills. There is something for everyone in this resource!

Once you are in the database, simply create a Learning Express Library account to access the tutorials and practice tests. Use your Forsyth County Library barcode or username and the PIN you chose when you signed up for your library card. It is a four-digit or more number that you chose and you are allowed ten tries to get it right. To reset a forgotten pin, click on the my account tab and then, Forgot your Pin?  Students who attend public school in Forsyth County can use their student ID number as their library barcode. Help is available through Ask a Librarian.
