Our local library subscribes to several online services and databases -- one is the Petersons site with sample exams. This allows me FREE access to all their sample exams.
If your library isn't a subscriber, you might find another in your area that is and may be able to "register" your card with them to have access to the database.

Since every library's site is different and you may need to log in with your library card number, there isn't a link to provide.
Within the library system I use, Peterson's exams are under the following "clicks" ... Research Tools, Databases, Education ... then there are several options there including the Peterson's site.

This seems to be one of those FREE things that is annoying to know about because it is out of reach. My subscribing library is the Minneapolis Public Library.
But, you need to show up in person and present your library card with ID to have access to their "tax-payer only" databases, since they pay a fee for offering them to their patrons.
If your library subscribes to this service and you have been successful logging in, a post here would go along way to help folks in that area.

Wow! I never knew how many services our library offered! I looked around and they did have the link to the Peterson site for free tests! Of course you have to have a library card but all you had to do was enter it in a password field and whala! The link was under "online databases" and then "testing and education resource center" Thanks for letting me know libraries do this!

Hello!
I was looking around on the Fort Worth Public Library Site and on this page
Recomended Links they had a link to the Peterson's site that says it has free registration. If you don't need this now that's fine if you still need this link, well, let me know if it works!
