Interactive Instruction
Core subject content areas of math, science, social studies, language arts, writing and computer skills are presented in engaging, relevant, and motivating learning experiences. Students draw faster connections to the information and retain more of what they learn. As students work through the recommended lessons, the GED Academy advances the student through content designed for progressively higher NRS functional levels through grade 12. Watch the instruction demo.
Diagnostic Assessment
Accelerate student learning with a personalized lesson plan tailored to the student’s knowledge level. Students become familiar with how to answer interactive questions which are randomized so students can retake the test. Practice is timed just like the real GED test and using the same weighting to score results. For each missed question, the assessment prescribes a mini lesson plan of combined GED Academy and Essential Skills Practice workbook lessons.
As an option, the RLA Writing Practice Test Extended Response can be scored by Essential Education’s professional graders. Real human graders give accurate scores and actionable feedback to help your students improve their writing skills.
Also, our GED practice tests are available in Spanish. Accurately assess the readiness of your students who will take the GED test in Spanish, as well as evaluate your students’ language skills versus academic skills to accurately focus your instruction.

Learning Management
Having complete visibility of each student’s progress lets instructors see when and where to remediate. Track progress by student or the entire class by analyzing time-on-task, answer attempts, and actual student responses. Instructors can manage administrative tasks such as student communications and seat assignments from a central dashboard.Watch the learning management system demo.
