PCC instructors can now provide easier online access to high school, continuing education, or other types of students in their areas needing to study and prepare for things like the GED, TEAS, HiSET, ACCUPLACER, EMT, CDL, ASVAB, CLEP, ACT, SAT, NCLEX-RN . . . and so many more.
The Library can provide you with a custom link (or set of links) that you can pass along to your students, leading them to the exact tutorial, practice test, etc. that you want them to complete with fewer steps.
For example . . .
Students in a Pharmacy Technician class through Con Ed, can be sent a custom link (or set of links) from their instructor that allows them to directly access very specific modules. The student clicks the link and is taken directly to the login page for a specific practice test, tutorial, learning center, etc.
How is this better?
The custom links remove the extra steps of having to click the database link, login through the proxy via myPittCC (or with a generic proxy username/password), then spend time searching the database and sifting through the various results to find the exact test or tutorial that they need.
Why create an account?
Personal accounts make it so you can save your progress and return to finish later. The first step is to click "Sign In or Register to Begin." To create an account, enter a valid e-mail address and create a password. A student ID and course number are NOT required and the e-mail does not have to be one from PCC. Next time, just sign in and pick up where you left off.
Try it! 
Here are just a few examples of custom links that do not require you to login via the usual Library Online Database Access page, so that you can see how it works.
- ExCPT Practice Test 2
- Cosmetology Practice Exam 1
- TEAS Mathematics Practice Test 1
- Skeletal System Game
- Career Prep Center: Build Workplace Skills
- Core English Skills Center
There are literally thousands of individual tests, tutorials, study materials, and learning centers for which we can provide custom links.
