 For reading practice tests, visit the ATC Library on Athens, Elbert, Greene, or Walton Campus.
Tell the librarian/staff member that you wish to access practice tests. That person will direct you
to the Learning Express website: http://library.athenstech.edu/content.php?pid=586521. Sign
in to your account or register as a new user. Search by subject for reading and complete the
practice exercises that you want to work on. New user registration must be completed at an
Athens Technical College Campus. From this point, a user can access practice exams from any
computer with internet access.
