Using this database requires that you start on the OE library page link for the database. Here is the direct link for the Testing and Education Reference Center (link also located on the OE library “Databases” page).
When you use the TERC database you’ll need to login TWICE. First you’ll login with the OE school password- included in PASSWORD link below. You’ll need the school password to open the PASSWORDS page.
