Question
Hi Cynthia,

Hoping you can help me. I am 30 years old and I am going back to school. I was laid off in January and want to make a career change. I am going to a Community College and I have my entrance exam in 2 weeks. Do you know of any websites or books that could prepare me. If I do bad I will have to take 6 credits of math and english that won't count towards my degree. Also I am going for Accounting or Business. Which of the two have better opportunities with an associates. Thank you in advance.

Eddie

Answer
Hello Eddie,

Thanks for asking a question. I am sad to hear that you lost your job, but it's great news to hear that you are going back to finish your education.

Major bookstores like Barnes & Noble or Borders have review books and other study aids to help you with the entrance exam. However, there are a number of free resources available online. In addition,

Here are a few online, some are actual tests, others are samples or study aids:

I really like pinkmonkey because of the number of study aids available. Good luck on your test!

Regards,
