Exam Prep Resources

K-State Libraries own or link to many exam preparation materials and practice tests.  We augment the resources found at the K-State Testing Center.

The sections of this guide explain where to look for 3 basic types of exams (other than those taken for a class) that you may encounter in your academic career:

• Entrance exams, required for acceptance into a school;
• Placement or Qualifying exams, required within a program to make progress toward a degree;
• Certification or Licensure exams, required to work in a specific occupation.

In addition to resources available from the Testing Center and K-State Libraries, the State Library of Kansas offers testing resources to residents of all ages through LearningExpress.
