Welcome to another school year at CPCC!  Starting the school year out right is important for both students and instructors.  Check out some of these resources to help improve your success in college.

The library provides access to Learning Express Library.  This database is an excellent resource for anyone who needs practice tests, exercises, or skill-building courses. Practice tests include immediate scoring, complete answer explanations, and an individualized analysis of your results.

Standardized tests covered in Learning Express Library include CLEP, GED, SAT, ACT, US Citizenship and licensing tests for various careers. It also contains basic skills assessments in math and English.

Time management is an important skill to master, not only in college, but for work as well.  Dartmouth University has an excellent site on this subject that includes planners, schedule making and overcoming procrastination.

Finally, Study Guides and Strategies is a site that has a wealth of information on a variety of student success topics, including how to study, doing research and writing.

Good luck with your classes this semester!
