Finding Your Way to Success
Posted by TestOut Staff on
The No. 1 movie in U.S. theaters this past weekend was Maze Runner: The Death Cure, which kinda makes sense. If there was an actual cure for death, then you'd expect that to be No. 1 on most people's "I gotta find out more about this" list. Of course it would be nice to cure, say, cancer — but death itself? That's gonna win you some hearts and minds.
Remember the Small Things

The Olympic Certification Challenge
Posted by TestOut Staff on
Exactly 94 years ago this week, athletes from 16 nations — Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States, and Yugoslavia — gathered in the French resort town of Chamonix, at the foot of Mont Blanc, for the first-ever Olympic Winter Games. U.S. skater Charles Jewtraw won the first gold medal, on Jan. 26, in the 500-meter speed skate.
It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's ... LabSim?

All of us here at TestOut Continuing Education are big fans of LabSim, the training platform that supports all of our certification and training courses. To us, LabSim is sort of like Superman or Wonder Woman. Maybe it's not from a far-off dead planet, or a hidden Amazonian island. It does have more or less magical superpowers, on the other hand, and it is dedicated to protecting mere mortals (from humdrum and ineffective certification training), and serving their interests (by providing them with a fantastic educational experience).
Not the Chosen One
Posted by TestOut Staff on
Do you ever wonder what happens to all of the other contestants at a beauty pageant or science fair? Not the first or second runners-up, either, but the ones who fall by the wayside sometimes before the real competition has even begun. Like maybe the kid who forgets the baking soda for his papier-mâché volcano diorama, or Miss Hinterland County who finishes 28th out of 29 contenders trying to become the Miss State representative to the Miss America pageant.
